Interpreting records in the broadest sense, the 15 essays in this
volume explore a wide variety of records that represent new
archival interpretations. The book is split into two parts, with
the first section focusing on record forms that are not generally
considered 'archival' in traditional Western practice. The second
section explores more 'traditional' archival collections and
demonstrates how these collections are analyzed and presented from
the perspective of Caribbean peoples. As a whole, the volume
suggests how colonial records can be repurposed to surface
Caribbean narratives. Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by
developing countries as they approach their archives, the volume
considers how to identify and archive records in the forms and
formats that reflect the post-colonial and decolonized Caribbean;
how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary
society and reflects Caribbean memory; and how to repurpose the
colonial archives so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming
its history. Archiving Caribbean Identity demonstrates how
non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how
folk-centered perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of
records. The book should thus be of interest to academics and
students engaged in the study of archives, memory, culture,
history, sociology, and the colonial and post-colonial experience.
