Description
Summary:This book identifies and engages with an analysis of racism in the Caribbean region, providing an empirically-based theoretical reframing of both the racialization of the globe and the evaluation of the prospects for anti-racism and the post-racial. The thirty contemporary territories of the Caribbean and their differing colonial and post-colonial contexts provide a highly dynamic setting that urges a reassessment of the ways in which contemporary processes of racialization are working. Tate and Law seek to develop a new account of racialization in this region, challenging established arguments, propositions and narratives of racial Caribbeanization. With new insights into contemporary forms of racialization in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, this will be essential reading for scholars of race and ethnicity.
