Part of the Historical Dictionaries of the Americas series from Rowman & Littlefield, this new edition is an extensive revision of the original edition. Since the two islands of Trinidad and Tobago were separate colonies for 400 years before they were united, the editors have outlined the histories of each of these islands separately, before they present the history of their existence as a single colony from 1889/1898. As a result, the term Trinidad and Tobago as a single term or as separate terms is not cross-referenced. After the usual maps and chronology, the historical dictionary is provided. Eight appendixes are included: government officials; the reestablished Tobago House of Assembly (THA); national holidays and observances of Trinidad and Tobago; schools (secondary denominational); prominent newspapers; Panorama: Steelband Competition winners (large band category); population (2016 estimates); and population by age: 1960 and 2000. A large and comprehensive bibliography follows. Probably the most complete dictionary/history of these islands available for the academic reference shelf.--Bradford Lee Eden-- "American Reference Books Annual"
