Abstract
Following the Northern Star: Caribbean Identities and Education in North American Schools.
Highlights
This is a new book on migration and education written from a Caribbean perspective
Just as the title suggests in metaphoric language, the book leads you to a new understanding of the education context in the Caribbean Islands which is characterised by a harsh colonial history epitomised in slavery and a much more recent phase of renaissance and reclaiming of African identities
The people of the Caribbean islands went through difficult times during the colonial period and today they still struggle for self-identity in their new countries of settlement
Summary
This is a new book on migration and education written from a Caribbean perspective. The contribution is welcome because there are very few publications by Caribbean authors who themselves or their family members experienced the traumatic life of slavery and colonization and the struggle for independence and self-identity. This book explores another dimension, the education contexts and experiences of an “immigrant” with a slavery background filling a gap that has existed for decades.
