Myths highly recommended
R. Berleant-Schiller, emerita, University of Connecticut, wrote that Dr Reid has demonstrated that the 11 conventional beliefs he examined are really myths. “One chapter valuable beyond its Caribbean interest summarizes the research and debates on the dispersion of syphilis and other treponemal diseases, a process not yet fully understood,” he wrote, adding that “Reid’s conclusion emphasizes the role of archaeology in clarifying Caribbean history and the nature of archaeology as part of anthropology.” The book is available at The UWI Bookshop.
