Examines the experiences of Caribbean immigrants to Spain, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands as well as the United States. This work shows the demographic, socio-economic, political and cultural impact migrants have, as well as their role in the development of transnational social fields.A novel and interdisciplinary volume on the dynamics of migration with comparative case studies of the Caribbean experience
"It is rare for an edited collection to cohere from cover to cover. Readers will find a great diversity of voices challenging canonical discourses on assimilation, immigrant incorporation, and identity formation, all in one volume. The research reported in Caribbean Migration would have required an in-depth, multi-sited, multi-lingual, mixed-method comparative study. Scholars of migration will be grateful the three editors decided instead to compile these essays into a well-organized, interdisciplinary volume."
