Description

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