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. -- Harry Goulbourne, Author of Caribbean Transnational Experience
