{"product_id":"book-cr6c","title":"The Island that Disappeared","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe creation myth of the United States begins with the plucky English puritans of the \u003ci\u003eMayflower\u003c\/i\u003e—but what about the story of its sister ship, the \u003ci\u003eSeaflower\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Few people today know the story of the passengers aboard the \u003ci\u003eSeaflower\u003c\/i\u003e, who in 1630 founded a rival puritan colony on an isolated Caribbean island called Providence. They were convinced that England's empire would rise not in barren New England, but rather in tropical Central America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, Providence became a colony in constant crisis: crops failed, slaves revolted … and then there were the pirates. And, as Tom Feiling discovers in this surprising history, the same drama was played out by the men and women who re-settled the island one hundred years later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Island That Disappeared\u003c\/i\u003e presents Providence as a fascinating microcosm of colonialism—even today. At first glance it is an island of devout churchgoers—but look a little closer, and you see that it is still dependent on its smugglers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At once intimate and global, this story of puritans and pirates goes to the heart of the contradictory nature of the Caribbean and how the Western World took shape.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49381451039024,"sku":"BDcr6c","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49381451071792,"sku":"ZEcr6c","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49381451104560,"sku":"ZMcr6c","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49381451137328,"sku":"40cr6c","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cr6c-Square-cover.jpg?v=1779137454","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cr6c","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
