Migration, Social Identities and Regionalism within the Caribbean Community: Voices of Caribbean People

Autor Oral I. Robinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 aug 2021
This book offers a theoretical and substantive analysis of intra-Caribbean migration, perception of regionalism, and the construction of identities among Caribbean nationals. Through a multi-methods study in the 15 member countries of the Caribbean community, Oral Robinson explores how intra-Caribbean migrants experience living within different member countries, and how these experiences and perceptions influence ideas about citizenship, belonging, and identity. Responding directly to the lack of scholarship on how Caribbean nationals feel about integration and/or free movement within their own countries and other Caribbean countries, this volume attempts to understand Caribbean societies historically, theoretically, and methodologically; proposes bases of social identities in the Caribbean; and examines how intra-Caribbean migrants negotiate their identities and narrate their lived experiences as intra-Caribbean migrants. The book offers policy solutions based upon its findings, reconciling practice, theory, and migration policies in the Caribbean.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book offers theoretical and empirical analyses of intra-Caribbean migration, regionalism and the construction of identities from the perspective of CARICOM nationals. It offers explanations as to why current attempts to promote intra-regional people mobility in the Caribbean have been met with and mixture of excitement, skepticism, tension and anxiety by regional governments, businesses and organizations, and CARICOM nationals. Through data derived from a multi-methods study within the 15 member countries of CARICOM using behavioural ‘bottom-up’, individual-level perspectives, this volume presents novel insights on substantive questions such as: How do intra-CARICOM migrants perceive and negotiate their identities? How do they narrate their lived experiences in other Caribbean countries, and how do perceptions of regional integration mediate these processes?  While making empirical, methodological and theoretical contributions to the study of regional identities inthe Caribbean, this work also offers practical and policy solutions to regional migration issues.
