Rogozinski, Jan. A Brief History of the Caribbean: From the Arawak and Carib to the Present. Subsequent, Plume, 2000. 

Rogozinski's book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the Caribbean and how slavery and the sugar industry played a central role in the development of the region.  In addition the book explains how the practice of slavery and the way sugar plantations differed across the region.  This book provided many of the statistics presented in the web page and the explanation of how sugar plantations worked that helped in the development of the infographic about sugar plantations.  The book was also a useful source for the information and statistics about the slave rebellions and the slow process of abolition of slavery in the Caribbean.  Rogozinski holds a PhD in History from Princeton University and has Cambridge, Chicago, Miami, and New York.

Slavery images is a is a collection of a wide range of historical images of slavery in the Americas, the slave trade, African culture before slavery and post slavery life.  This collection of more than 1,200 images are organized by topic and geographic location of image.  The web page is a good source of historical images because it provides a full historical description and citation information for each image in the collection.  The images shown on the web page, for example the image in the header, are from this site.  Handler began this visual collection in the 1990's when he was a professor of history in Illinois and continued it when he move to the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.  This web page was begun in the early 2000's because many commercial photo sites had incorrect of missing citations for image.   Handler built the site to be of use to professors, teachers and student of history.
