In A Fragmented Caribbean Empire, Jerome Teelucksingh examines some
of the personalities and organizations that are often overlooked in
analysis of the Caribbean region and its diaspora, and in
particular the Indo-Caribbean presence in literature, migration and
politics. Most of the existing scholarship on the Caribbean has
tended to overlook this and other ethnic, religious and cultural
minorities. The author utilizes interviews and delves into diverse
archival sources to create a paradigm of a region with a rich
historical past and a promising future. Research on indentureship
and migration to North America and Britain elucidates the strong
transnational ties between the Caribbean and other regions of the
world, and shows how the Caribbean can be conceptualised as a
global 'empire'. Behind this lies the author's unwavering
conviction that the Caribbean should be acknowledged as important
and given its rightful place in global history.
