Revisiting Caribbean Labour

Revisiting Caribbean Labour: Essays in Honour of O. Nigel Bolland

The seven contributions in this collection originate from a colloquium organized by the Caribbean Studies Association in 2003 in Belize in honour of O. Nigel Bolland, who wrote an afterword for the volume. The contributions are inspired by Bolland's The Politics of Labour in the British Caribbean. In addition to British territories, Puerto Rico and Cuba are reviwed here. In his brief afterword, Bolland calls attention to the special position of the Caribbean that places labour at the vanguard of global trends. He argues that neoliberalism has brought about a chronic and structural crisis in the region.
