Summary

• This book identifies and engages with an analysis of racism in the Caribbean region, providing an empirically-based theoretical re-framing of both the racialisation of the globe and evaluation of the prospects for anti-racism and the post-racial.
• "Caribbean Racisms is an accurate analysis of the historical antecedents as well as the sociological implications of the creation of these heterogeneous societies. The authors [...] constantly point the way forward, offering prescriptions for restorative policy decisions which politicians, educators and administrators can usefully utilize in devising creative ways of handling this potentially explosive adherence to transported ancestral values [...] This text provides us with essential reading for a clear understanding of contemporary Caribbean society." - Professor Samaroo, UWI, St Augustine, Trinidad

Summary expansion

This book identifies and engages with an analysis of racism in the Caribbean region, providing an empirically-based theoretical re-framing of both the racialisation of the globe and 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 urging a re-assessment of the ways in which contemporary processes of racialisation are working. This book seeks to develop a new account of racialisation in this region, challenging established arguments, propositions and narratives of racial Caribbeanisation. With new insights into contemporary forms of racialisation in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, this will be essential reading for scholars of Race and Ethnicity
