Description

In A Fragmented Caribbean Empire, Jerome Teelucksingh examines some of the personalities and organizations that are often overlooked in analysis of the Caribbean region and its diaspora, and in particular the Indo-Caribbean presence in literature, migration and politics. Most of the existing scholarship on the Caribbean has tended to overlook this and other ethnic, religious and cultural minorities. The author utilizes interviews and delves into diverse archival sources to create a paradigm of a region with a rich historical past and a promising future. Research on indentureship and migration to North America and Britain elucidates the strong transnational ties between the Caribbean and other regions of the world, and shows how the Caribbean can be conceptualised as a global ‘empire’. Behind this lies the author’s unwavering conviction that the Caribbean should be acknowledged as important and given its rightful place in global history.
