History Book Group: Empire’s Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day

Decorah Public Library staff are hosting five book discussions this month. The groups are open to the public and newcomers are encouraged to attend. Anyone interested should call the library at 382-3717 to learn more or to reserve a book. Email ktorresdal@decorahlibrary.org to be added to any of the five groups’ email distribution lists. Funds for multiple copy sets were generously provided by Friends of Decorah Public Library.  

The History Book Group will meet on the second floor of the library on Thursday June 18 at 3:00 p.m. to discuss Empire’s Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day by Carrie Gibson. This sweeping history traces the Caribbean’s complex past, exploring colonialism, cultural exchange, and the region’s enduring global significance from the age of exploration to the modern era.
