The Legacy of Eric Williams provides an indispensable and
significant understanding of Eric Williams's contributions to the
now independent nation of Trinidad and Tobago and his impact on the
broader international understanding of the Caribbean. This book
stands out because of its simultaneous investigation into Eric
Williams as a scholar/intellectual, a political leader, and, most
importantly, a key postcolonial figure. Most previous studies have
treated these as separate arenas. The essays here confront the
relevance of postcolonialism in understanding Williams's role both
in post-independence Trinidad and Tobago and in newer
understandings of Caribbean globalization. The volume divides into
three broad sections--""Becoming Eric Williams,"" ""Political
Williams,"" and ""Textual Williams."" ""Becoming Eric Williams""
provides background on Williams and the Caribbean's ontological
quest, addressing what it means to be West Indian and Caribbean.
""Political Williams"" engages with his policies and their
consequences, describing the impact of Williams's political
policies on several areas: integration, color stratification, and
labor and public sector reform. Williams's far-reaching political
influence in these aspects cements his legacy as one of the main
public intellectuals responsible for creating the modern Caribbean.
""Textual Williams"" examines his scholarly contributions from a
more traditional academic perspective. These sections allow for a
comprehensive understanding of Williams as a man, a scholar, and a
politician.
