"
Caribbean Transnational Experience "examines today's vibrant and
creative trans-Atlantic Caribbean community. Harry Goulbourne
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, "Caribbean Transnational
Experience" 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 for Caribbean-born
and their offspring to return to the Caribbean from the mother
country. "Caribbean Transnational Experience" concludes with a
speculative discussion about possible future directions of what is
increasingly being described as the Caribbean Diaspora.
