Abstract

Pan-Caribbeanism — whether as a policy aspiration, as scientific

conjecture, or as sentimental indulgence — is an increasingly familiar

by-product of the Caribbean crucible of new and self-renovating nations.

Any politician who pursues the goal of Caribbean federation,

however, or any social scientist who generalizes about Caribbean societies

is forced to recognize that hitherto the only focused and authoritative

regional perspectives have been geopolitical and externally imposed.

Ironically, the persons and powers who adopted them are

precisely those responsible for the region's fragmentation, for its neutralization

against internal schemes of integration.
