The diary of slaver Thomas Thistlewood provides a view of the British in the Caribbean 200 years ago, a history leaving an impression on cricketer Wes Hall.
2. Out of Africa
The African heritage of Haiti, exemplified by Andre Pierre, an artist and voodoo priest. Looks at Haiti's history to see why it was once the world's only black republic. Haiti is compared with Jamaica, home of Bob Marley, reggae and Rastafarianism.
3. Paradise lost
The Spanish legacy in today's Caribbean, in particular Santo Domingo. Being the ruins of imperial Spain is a country in dire straits, where baseball and drugs are usually the only ways to escape poverty.
4. La Grande illusion
Martinique was obliterated by a volcanic explosion on 8 May 1902. Now rebuilt, the dilemma for its people and the people of Guadalupe is how to enjoy the benefits of being French without losing a sense of their own Caribbean identity.
5. Worlds apart
Examines tensions between black and Asian populations in Trinidad and Guyana, which arose after slavery was abolished and Indians were brought in as indentured workers.
6. Following Fidel
Looks at Cuba's relationship with the rest of the Caribbean. Links with the USA continue although Fidel Castro has been in power for 30 years.
7. Shades of freedom
