Dear Caribbean Studies colleagues, Just a brief note to announce that my book "The West Indian Americans" has just been released in Greenwood Press's "The New Americans Series" (edited by Ronald H. Bayor). As off now, the book can be ordered directly from Greenwood Press (at <http://info.greenwood.com/books/0313310/0313310092.html>) and, I assume, very shortly from other online bookstores, such as Amazon.com. Wishing you a Happy Holiday season. Sincerely, Holger Henke
