There are four periods of Caribbean history defined by themes of migration, oppression, and resilience. The first period involved the encounter between Europeans and the native Tainos, Kalinagos, and Caribs, resulting in their enslavement and genocide through diseases. Africans were then forcibly migrated to the Caribbean and enslaved on plantations in the second colonial period. The third period saw emancipation and freedom for ex-slaves, though oppression continued through indentured labor and imperialism. The current globalization period involves continued migration in the diaspora alongside neocolonial oppression, though Caribbean communities demonstrate resilience through regional institutions and identity.
