Empire and Nation-Building in the Caribbean - Barbados, 1937-66 (Hardcover)

"Empire and Nation-building in the Caribbean" is an original and exciting book that examines the processes of nation building in the British West Indies.  It argues that nation building was a more complex and messy affair, involving women and men in a range of social and cultural activities, in a variety of migratory settings, within a unique geo-political context. Taking as a case study Barbados which, in the 1930s, was the most economically impoverished, racially divided, socially disadvantaged and politically conservative of the British West Indian colonies, Empire and Nation-Building  tells the messy, multiple stories of how a colony progressed to a nation. It is the first book to tell all sides of the independence story and will be of interest to specialists and non-specialists interested in the history of Empire, the Caribbean, of de-colonization and nation building.
