Description
This book argues that the Caribbean frontier, usually assumed to have been eclipsed after colonial conquest, remains a powerful but unrecognised element of Caribbean island culture.
Combining analytical and creative genres of writing, it explores historical and contemporary patterns of frontier change through a case study of the little-known Eastern Caribbean multi-island state of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Modern frontier traits are located in the wandering woodcutter, the squatter on government land and the mountainside ganja grower.
But the frontier is also identified as part of global production that has shaped island tourism, the financial sector and patterns of migration. -- .
