The Women of Rendezvous
A Concise History of Jamaica, by Kenneth Morgan
Brinsley Samaroo, historian (1940–2023)
This informal presentation seeks to analyze the late Brinsley Samaroo’s major work as a historian. It discusses his pioneering research and writing on labour and political struggles in Trinidad & Tobago in the last century, and his involvement in research on the indentured Indian Diaspora in that country and in the Caribbean more generally. It also notes his work as a public intellectual and cultural activist

Freedom Roots
This powerfully argued and engagingly written book offers a thematic history of the Caribbean, with a focus on events that put the region at the center of global developments and on struggles for freedom by its peoples.It's based on a truly impressive range of mainly-published sources in three languages, as the nearly 60 pages of annotations reveal.(Annoyingly, there's no bibliography and only one, very inadequate, general map of the region.)Laur…

Varieties of English in Writing
In research on Creoles, historical written texts have in recent decades been fruitfully employed to shed light on the diachronic development of these languages and the nature of Creole genesis.They have so far been much less frequently used to derive social information about these communities and to improve our understanding of the sociolinguistics and stylistic structure of these languages.This paper surveys linguistic research on early written …

Gendered Testimonies
Although history has been one of the main disciplines through which we can understand gender, the paucity of data written or recorded by women makes it more difficult for the historian to research women's lives in the past. In the Caribbean, this task has been made easier by the discovery of a few key sources which allow an insight into the private sphere of Caribbean women's lives. These records of women who have lived in the Caribbean since the…
