Until recently, historians have defined the Commonwealth
Caribbean territories by their relationship with Britian and have
attributed little importance to American relations with these
territories. Fraser provides a reinterpretation of U.S. policy
toward the West Indies since 1940. He establishes links between
Afro-West Indian groups and African Americans who successfully
influenced both American and British policy in the West Indies.
Thus, he explores a little-understood and little-studied aspect of
American policy toward Britain's disengagement from empire after
1945 and the way decolonization in the Caribbean helped to shape
the pattern and strategy of the Anglo-American relationship from
Roosevelt to Kennedy. The book will force a rethinking of American
policy toward the West Indies since 1940, the impact of race on
American foreign policy, and the historiography of inter-American
relations.
