| Summary: | This book thematically analyzes and surveys areas of Caribbean history and society. The work is divided into three parts, part one addresses migration and identity, part two explores policy and development and part three explores music and literature. The volume places a fresh perspective on these topics. The proposed articles depart from the usual broader themes of politics, economics and society and provides a deeper insight into forces that left a decisive legacy on aspects of the Caribbean region. Such contributions come at a time when some of the Caribbean territories are marking over fifty years as independent nation states but attempting to create, understand and forge ways of dealing with critical national and regional issues. The volume brings together a board group of scholars writing on Caribbean issues including postgraduate students, lecturers and researchers. Each submission is thematically divided into the aforementioned areas. This work proposes to address areas much deeper than the linear historical and social science models, and it offers Caribbean academics and researchers a foundation for further research. |
