On Friday February 25, The UWI Press will host the launch of Vice-Chancellor Beckles’ newest book, How Britain Underdeveloped the Caribbean: A Reparation Response to Europe's Legacy of Plunder and Poverty. You are cordially invited to join the event which will be broadcasted live on UWITv online at www.uwitv.org as well as the UWI Tv Facebook Page. 

In this publication, Sir Hilary, Professor of Economic and Social History, focuses his attention on the British Empire and shows how successive governments have systematically suppressed economic development in their former colonies and have refused to accept responsibility for the debt and development support they owe the Caribbean.
