Publisher description
From 19th-century black nationalist writer Martin Delany through the rise
of Jim Crow, the 1937 riots in Trinidad, and the achievement of Independence in
the West Indies, up to the present era of globalization, "Black Nationalism in
the New World" explores the paths taken by black nationalism in the United
States and the Caribbean. Bringing to bear a comparative, diasporic
perspective, Robert Carr examines the complex roles race, gender, sexuality,
and history have played in the formation of black national identities in the US
and Caribbean; particularly Jamaica, Trinidad, and Guyana; over the past two
centuries. He shows how nationalism begins as an impulse emanating "upwards"
from the bottom of the social and economic spectrum and discusses the
implications of this phenomenon for understanding democracy and
nationalism. From 19th-century black nationalist writer Martin Delany through the rise
of Jim Crow, the 1937 riots in Trinidad, and the achievement of Independence in
the West Indies, up to the present era of globalization, this work explores the
paths taken by black nationalism in the US and the Caribbean.
