The initial push for a federation among British Caribbean colonies
might have originated among the white elites, but the banner for
federation was quickly picked up by Afro-Caribbean activists who
saw in the possibility of a united West Indian nation a means of
securing political power and more. In Building a Nation, Eric Duke
moves beyond the narrow view of federation as only relevant to
Caribbean and British imperial histories. By examining support for
federation among many Afro-Caribbean and other black activists in
and out of the West Indies, Duke convincingly expands and connects
the movement's history squarely into the wider history of political
and social activism in the early-mid-twentieth century Black
Diaspora. Exploring the relationships between the pursuit of
Caribbean federation and Black Diaspora politics, Duke posits that
federation was more than a regional endeavor; it was a diasporic,
black-nation building undertaking-with broad support in diaspora
centers such as Harlem and London-deeply immersed in ideas of
racial unity, racial uplift, and black self-determination.
