Enriching caribbean bookshelves


Excerpt from Ricky Singh's article in The Sunday Observer Newspaper, Sunday March 23, 2008


ANYONE - Caribbean national or otherwise - with little more than a passing interest in today's Caribbean Community and Common Market (Caricom) will find a treasure trove of information and analyses in the latest collection of books released by Ian Randle Publishers as a joint project of the Caricom Secretariat and the University of the West Indies.


What could also inspire reading of the collection of seven publications - all of which should now be available at leading bookstores across the Caribbean region, including the UWI's - is a book just released separately by Ian Randle titled The Political History of Caricom by Anthony Payne.
First published in 1980, it is a significantly revised and updated new edition of developments since then, spanning the past 27 years in Caricom's political and economic history penned by the author, professor of politics at the University of Sheffield who has written extensively on Caribbean politics and international relations.
In this latest work, Payne has managed to avoid the path of burdensome quotes, clichés and jargon to offer a narrative on the background to the formation of Caricom, its struggles for survival, progress and failures that makes easy and compelling reading. In addition, there is a wealth of useful references, select bibliography and index.
