This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted.

West Indies ou les nègres marrons de la liberté is a 1979 musical drama film directed by Med Hondo. The plot of the film, centered on french colonialism in the Caribbean, was adopted from the novel Les Négriers by Daniel Boukman. In an interview published the year of the film's release, Hondo said: "I wanted to free the very concept of musical comedy from its American trade mark. I wanted to show that each people on earth has its own musical comedy, its own musical tragedy and its own thoughts shaped through our history."
