    This article examines a variety of texts produced by the French and English colonists of the island of St Kitts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During this time, the island was jointly settled by these two groups, a situation which created considerable tension and frequent hostilities between them. By placing these texts in dialogue with one another, we gain a clearer and more nuanced understanding of the extent to which these competing imperial projects resembled and differed from one another, allowing us a new perspective on European settlement in the Caribbean in the era of slavery.Este art铆culo examina la variedad de textos producida por los colonos franceses e ingleses de la isla de St. Kitts (San Crist贸bal) en los siglos XVII y XVIII, momento en que ambas comunidades se hallaban asentadas en este mismo territorio lo que gener贸 mucha tensi贸n y enfrentamientos frecuentes.
