About this ebook
Montserrat is a small island territory in the Caribbean that was first settled by the Arawak and Carib peoples. The island was later colonized by the British, who established sugar plantations and brought in enslaved Africans to work the land. Montserrat gained independence from Britain in 1962 and remains a British Overseas Territory today. The island's history is also marked by the devastating effects of natural disasters, including hurricanes and volcanic eruptions. In 1995, the island's Soufrière Hills volcano erupted, forcing the evacuation of most of the population and causing widespread damage. Despite these challenges, Montserrat has a rich cultural heritage and is known for its music, including the traditional music called "scratch" and the modern style of soca. The island also has a thriving tourism industry, attracting visitors with its natural beauty and history.
