This volume provides a unique perspective on elderly working-class
West Indian migrants in the UK, particularly examining how they
negotiate their sense of belonging. Utilizing the life span gaze
and including elements of oral history and narrative, this
ethnography provides rich insight into the ordinary lives,
migratory circumstances, social networks, and interactions with the
state as residents in a sheltered housing scheme in Brixton,
London. The author further compiles a variety of genealogy charts,
providing a uniquely vivid scholarly analysis of the Caribbean
migrant experience both in a "place" and through space and time.
Ultimately, this work contemplates how communities face change
whilst at once developing a local symbolic cultural site,
navigating adaptation to new economic and social environments.
