The history of the Caribbean is a history of migrations. The
peoples of the region came as conquerors and planters, slaves and
indentured laborers from all parts of the globe. Each group
contributed to the social fabric, culture, and commerce of the
region. The Chinese diaspora has spread Chinese people and culture
around the world, including to the Caribbean, where Chinese exist
both as distinct ethnic groups within Caribbean societies and as
shapers of unique Caribbean cultures. This book describes not
merely the arrival and experience of Chinese in the Caribbean but
also the ways in which Chinese have adapted to and altered the
region. Included are the histories of Chinese people in Cuba,
Jamaica, Panama, and the British West Indies, their arrival as
indentured laborers, the discrimination they suffered and overcame,
their slow rise to economic independence and success, their
contribution to art, theater, cuisine, and literature, their roles
in the region's national revolutions, their place in post-colonial
politics, and the subsequent remigrations of individuals, families,
and entire communities to North America.
