First published in 1982, this study attempts to put contemporary
Caribbean development into historical perspective. By first
constructing a Marxist framework for the study of development , Jay
Mandle assesses the reasons why the region emerged underdeveloped
and evaluates post-world-war two efforts to overcome the legacy of
poverty through a strategy of "industrialization through
invitation." Identifying the reasons why a Marxist framework
yielded results which were unsatisfactory, the author then explores
the requirements which must be met for a more reliable study of the
Caribbean's economic development. Case studies of Cuba, Jamaica,
Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago examine the extent to which these
requirements have been met.
