The idyllic landscapes of the Eastern Caribbean belie a dramatic and often cruel history. Fought over by the imperial Navies and vulnerable to natural disasters, these small islands have also been marked by slavery, migration and a tradition of resistance. With their population rooted in every continent, a mix of influences has created today's cultural diversity and self-expression. As tourism replaces agriculture, the islands of the Eastern Caribbean face the challenge of economic survival and maintaining their distinctive identities. The countries focused on are: Trinidad and Tobago, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, Antigua-Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, Saba, St Eustatius, St Kitts-Nevis, St Lucia, and St Martin.
