Differential Mental Health Impact of Covid-19 Lockdowns on Persons with Non-Communicable Diseases in Trinidad and Tobago
Persons with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were identified as particularly at risk of severe morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Little is written about the impact of COVID-19 on this sub-population in the Caribbean, where the prevalence of NCDs is disproportionately high. This study aimed to ascertain COVID-related concerns, and the mental health impact of the pandemic among persons with and without NCDs in Trinidad …
Caribbean diasporic spaces and mobilities, transnational incorporation overseas and transnational capacity-building on return
Long-held traditions of international mobility, emigration, and temporary circulation, and of family-centered networks, together forge intra-regional and extra-regional systems of social exchanges, transfers and support structures that directly and indirectly influence the development of the Caribbean region. Today’s mobilized diasporas exhibit multi-local “moorings” or locales within the Caribbean region and beyond: in this hemisphere (North Ame…
Diaspora return of transnational migrants to Trinidad and Tobago
Current enthusiasm among development stakeholders for the enticement and recruitment ‘back home’ of skilled Diaspora migrants has predominantly revolved around how human capital gains and transfers of capital, knowledge, technical skills and workplace entrepreneurialism and innovation can be facilitated. In this article, we widen the conceptual basis of this dimension of the migration-development nexus, by bringing the additional contributions of…
“Racism in a Melting Pot…?” Trinidadian mid-life transnational migrants’ views on race and colour-class on return to their homes of descent
Guns, crime and social order in the West Indies
This article examines guns, crime and social order in the West Indies. Set in the context of the region's colonial history, contemporary geopolitics and the growing availability of small arms, the article analyses the extent and nature of gun homicide and related phenomena in various locations across the English-speaking Caribbean. It explores some explanations for the disturbing growth in violent death and injury mainly caused by guns, focusing …
Transnationalism Personified
In this paper we consider the nexus existing between returning transnational migrants to Trinidad and Tobago's adaptation experiences, matters pertaining to their transnational life‐paths, family and community experiences and their views on transnationalism and return. The research is based on an analysis of the detailed narratives provided by forty informants by means of semi‐structured interviews. The informants consisted of nine ‘second‐genera…
Repetitive Visiting as a Pre-return Transnational Strategy among Youthful Trinidadian Returnees
Building upon existing Caribbean research by Condon and Duval, we assess how repetitive visiting is, or is not, important to youthful return migrants in their 30s and 40s, who have decided to return more permanently to Trinidad. Is it influential in their social and economic adaptations on return, and does this transnational practice lead to a more permanent return? Our analysis is based on 40 detailed narratives which were collected in 2004–2005…
Dual citizenship or dual identity? Does 'transnationalism' supplant 'nationalism' among returning Trinidadians
In this article we focus on the dual identities of relatively young Trinidadians who have decided to return to the island of their birth, or of their parents, while still in their thirties and forties. Highly-educated professional transnational migrants mostly make up our sample of 36; 26 possess dual citizenship. We focus on our informants' narratives about their transnational experiences, self-appraisals of their dual identities and how they va…
