158 p, The book is divided into two sections. The first offers a political and historical overview, starting with the British presence in the region and the introduction of slavery and indentured labor, and continuing with the rise of nationalist movements, political leaders’ vision for their respective states, and economic development. The second section explores the region as an entity, including development at state and national levels, the historical background for regional unity from the West Indian Federation to CARICOM, and an evaluation on how well regionalism works today and could work in the future.
