The Indian Caribbean is a welcome addition to the existing
historiography on Indo-Caribbean communities because of its
ambitious scope. It should provide researchers with an impetus for
engaging with unexplored strands of the Indo-Caribbean diaspora and
raise their appreciation for its multidirectional nature.--Margriet
Fokken "New West Indian Guide 93 (2019)"
The Indian Caribbean: Migration and Identity in the Diaspora is a
valuable addition to the existing historiography not only because
of the variety of themes it covers; or the fact that it is a study
of entire period of Indian migration in the Caribbean, from the
arrival of indentured labourers until contemporary times; or even
the fact that it offers a comparative discussion of Indian
migration. It is a book that can be used in many academic
disciplines from history and migration studies, to culture and
society. It has potential value for a broad range of audiences from
high school students to postgraduate researchers. A sense of
continuity is evident throughout the period of study as well as the
themes studied.--Radica Mahase "Journal of International Women's
Studies Vol. 20, No. 7 August 2019"
