"A penetrating analysis of the social, political, sexual, and cultural worlds that exist behind the four-color Caribbean travel posters. . . . Page after page of highly original insights."--Kirkus Reviews

In this richly detailed portrait of the individual countries and peoples of the Caribbean, Mark Kurlansky brings to life a society and culture often kept hidden from foreigners-the arts, history, politics, and economics of the region, as well as the vivid day-to-day lives of its citizens. From the Newyoriccans of Levittown, Puerto Rico; to the state-salaried popular musicians of Cuba; to the practitioners of good political hurricanemanship (who know how to stretch statistics to bring in relief funds), A Continent of Islands paints portraits that will prove equally fascinating to tourists who know the Caribbean only as a string of beach resorts, and to readers curious about U.S. efforts to influence its neighbors.

Sturdy and well priced
Size: Large 1/2in x 6ft-Rope Clasp, Color: Black
Amazed at the great quality of this leash, very sturdy and reasonably priced. I use it for off leash training, as a leash drag and miraculously it does not pick up any trail debris.

Nice quality leash, good price. Clasp is heavy duty and should handle beach duty. Would buy again in another color.

It is indeed comfortable
Size: Large 1/2in x 6ft-Rope Clasp, Color: Light Blue
I really like this leash. The color is vibrant and I have experienced zero fading even though I leave it outside. I really appreciate the padded handle and the entire leash is a good substantial weight - I hate a flimsy leash. I would not hesitate to purchase this again if needed.
