This book explores the intersection of migration, identity
development and the school achievement of Caribbean heritage
children. In doing so, it uncovers the history of the Caribbean and
its early inhabitants such as the Siboneyes, Guanahatabeyes,
Tainos, Caribs, and Arawaks, who predated the arrival of European
explorers and enslavers, and it explains the relevant connections
to colonialism, neo-colonialism and Caribbean migration to North
America. Through family interviews, it presents perspectives on
Caribbean immigrants in North American schools (United States and
Canada). The book further explains what happens when these
immigrants transition from being the ethnic majority in their home
country, into the minority in a foreign country. Interviews with
families and personal narratives are weaved into a rich discussion
on immigrant identities in school and society. The findings
strongly support the treatise in the literature that Caribbean
heritage families place a strong emphasis on education and school
achievement.
