The Tainos

by Francine Jacobs

Book Overview

Jaobs has turned her interest in the Taino people of the pre-Columbian Caribbean into a clear, readable portrayal of the extinction of an ethnic group. The well-researched text describes the early beginnings of the Tainos' culture. . . . The resultant package is a masterful work of historical reportage.--School Library Journal.
