The Last Turtlemen of the Caribbean: Waterscapes of Labor, Conservation, and Boundary Making

bySharika D. Crawford

The Last Turtlemen of the Caribbean is Sharika D. Crawford's historical account of waterscapes of Labor, Conservation, and Boundary Making. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
