In Caribbean Transnationalism, Ruben Gowricharn brings together a
diverse group of scholars and their concerns about crucial aspects
and areas of the Caribbean at home and abroad. The collection is a
valuable contribution to a growing body of literature on the
diverse beginnings of a people and their subsequent dispersal
across northern and western Europe and North America, while also
making the often neglected links there are to the South American
continent. This volume is a must for all who are concerned about
the continuing construction of the Caribbean region and the
Caribbean’s presence in the wider North Atlantic world.
