This book provides a detailed analysis of Afro-Caribbean experiences in Cuba from 1898 to 1948. Paying particular attention to labor, race, politics, and imperial relations, Jorge L. Giovannetti-Torres weaves together a complex story of transnationalism in the African Diaspora.
Black British Migrants in Cuba offers a comprehensive study of migration from the British Caribbean to Cuba in the pre-World War II era, spotlighting an important chapter of the larger trajectory of the Afro-Atlantic diaspora. Grounded in extensive and rigorous multi-sited research, this book examines the different migration experiences of Jamaican, Leeward, and Windward Islanders, along with the transnational processes of labor recruitment and the local control of workers in the plantation. The book also explains the history of racial fear and political and economic forces behind the marking of black migrants as the ''Other'' and the resulting discrimination, racism, and violence against them. Through analysis of the oppositional and resistance strategies employed by British Antilleans, the author conveys migrants'' determination to work, live, and survive in the Caribbean.
