This volume examines today's vibrant and creative trans-Atlantic
Caribbean community. It advances three central arguments, first,
the concepts of diaspora and of Caribbean diaspora are problematic.
Second, the African diaspora and its variant Caribbean diaspora are
integral parts of the wider Atlantic world making it disingenuous
to speak of the West and the rest where Caribbeans in the Atlantic
are concerned. Third, Goulbourne insists that meaningful
discussions about these aspects of the modern world must be
empirically validated while being theoretically informed. Unlike
much cultural and literary studies, this text makes a plea for
verifiable evidence to inform academic and popular discussions
about the exciting experiences of Caribbeans across the Atlantic.
Chapters explore questions of definition and theory, the common
Atlantic heritage and fate, social and economic contexts of
Caribbean transnationality, Africa, the USA and the Caribbean in
popular discourses in Britain, transnationality of families and the
propensity of Caribbean-born and their offspring to return to the
Caribbean from the mother country.
