Celebrants of an ever-emerging 'globalization' fly the banner of
free trade, the mass marketization of once faltering economies, and
rising economic and social standards for all. Many opponents to
globalization rightfully point out that borders still exist largely
for the purposes of keeping one 'commodity' in its place: the labor
commodity or, the more familiar, immigrant. Arguments of this type
are often steeped in economic and social discourse. Race and
ethnicity are seen as either being subsumed by this discourse or
are entirely ignored as incidental to this type of political
thought. In Ethnicity, Class and Nationalism: Caribbean and
Extra-Caribbean Dimensions specialists writing on the Caribbean
form of the nation-state place race and ethnicity along with class
in its proper context: at the very foundations of the modern
nation. Editor Anton L. Allahar has handpicked scholarship that is
both contemporary and expert in its consideration of Caribbean
geo-politics. Furthermore, essays in this volume include
comparative cases from around the globe. In the interest of
locating race and ethnicity as sociological and political
categories that are inimical to contemporary conceptions of the
nation state, Allahar explores spaces other than the Caribbean. The
result is a comparative study that is unique in scope and also in
its level of scholarly reflection. This book is the first of its
kind. It is essential reading for anyone interested in advancing
their analysis of political, economic, social, and cultural thought
in the Caribbean."
