Full Description
Caribbean migration is a dynamic and complex phenomenon that has shaped societies and cultures across the globe and remains one of the most researched phenomena in the Caribbean. From historical forced migrations to contemporary patterns of circulation, free movement and diasporic communities, Caribbean migration defies simplistic categorizations, Westernized models and androcentric lenses. Written in three sections, the book presents an expansive and interdisciplinary perspective on Caribbean migration with a focus on transnationalism, gender and decoloniality. It seeks to reconceptualize Caribbean migration by adopting a transnational perspective, which acknowledges the interconnectedness of sending and receiving societies, as well as the fluidity of migrant identities and experiences across borders. The book also focuses on emerging issues in Caribbean migration including displacement, accelerated free movements, return migrations, mobility in the context of natural disasters and situations of crises and conflict. The contributions include interdisciplinary perspectives and critical insights on these under-researched areas of Caribbean migration. The scholarship contained in this text has implications for broader frameworks of action and policy for better migration management and governance as Caribbean SIDS are being confronted by shifting regional landscapes and global crises.
