Opis

This anthology represents important and original directions in the study of Caribbean migration. It takes a comparative perspective on the Caribbean people's migratory experiences to North America, Europe, and within the Caribbean. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, the book discusses: the causes of migration; the experiences of migrants; the historical, cultural and political processes; issues of gender and imperialism; and the methodology of migration studies, including oral history.
