"Of "Realities and Possibilities
This essay addresses Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1972) in relation to three moments: the time of its writing and publication; that of the next major global political epoch, the neoliberal turn of the 1970s and 1990s; and our current moment, when compounded crises bound up with the afterlives of colonialism-coming to a head in the form of planetary climate catastrophe and its attendant sociopolitical degradations-have rightfu…
Introduction
This special issue composed of essays that brainstorm the triadic relationship between Covid-19, Race and the Markets, addresses the fundamentals of a world economic system that embeds market values within social and cultural lifeways. It penetrates deep into the insecurities and inequalities that have endured for several centuries, through liberalism for sure, and compounded ineluctably into these contemporary times. Market fundamentalism is tho…
Race and Rurality in the Global Economy
Essays that examine globalization's effects with an emphasis on the interplay of race and rurality as it occurs across diverse geographies and peoples. Issues of migration, environment, rurality, and the visceral "politics of place" and "space" have occupied center stage in recent electoral political struggles in the United States and Europe, suffused by an antiglobalization discourse that has come to resonate with Euro-American peoples. Race and…
Notes on the Journey toward the Future
This essay advances an “interpretive analytic” to analyze the character of the politics and strategic intent in Aimé Césaire's poetics and life work. In so doing, it focuses on Césaire's commitment to the method of poetics articulated through the project and politics of négritude. It argues that Césaire's interventions should be treated as part and parcel of the set of cultural practices gathered under the rubric of “creolization” and that his co…
Categories, Citizenship, Erotic Agency, and the Problem of Freedom
This essay, in discussion of Citizenship From Below: Erotic Agency and Caribbean Freedom by Mimi Sheller, underscores the need to historicize Caribbean sociocultures as complex ensembles of heterogeneous practices. It lauds efforts to sustain the investigation of the gendered agential capacities of Caribbean working people in their relation with various manifestations of modern cultures of power. The essay questions the liberatory potential of er…
Revisiting affirmative action, globally
Human traffic-past and present
The essays in this issue are animated by the conference “Human traffic: Past and present,” sponsored by the Center for African and African American Studies (CAAAR) at Duke University in the fall of 2011.1 At this conference, participants sought to engage the multiple dimensions embedded in the complex phenomenon of human trafficking, rethinking, and unthinking some of its more popular frames and tropes, such as its ubiquitous reference to victimi…

Creolization', as subject and problematic, seems trapped in complex processes of cultural politics within and outside the 'Caribbean', even as it continues to figure significantly in the histories of globalization, nationalization and regionalization. In this article, we examine the subject of 'creolization' that has been so discursively implicated in the time, space and power marked experiences and practices of 'Caribbean subjects', in order to …
Neoliberalism, States, and Bananas in the Windward Islands
Informalization
Since the 1970s, the rapid and unexpected growth of the informal economy in the core zones of the world economy - the United States in particular - has been the focus of much scholarly investigation. To examine the social and spatial pervasiveness of this world-historical process usually associated with the Third World, Faruk Tabak and Michaeline A. Crichlow bring together a group of contributors to broaden the historical and geographical context…

main distorting factor in the sociological tradition, according to Mingione (1994: 25), been the use of dichotomy between Gemeinschaft/ Gesellschaft as a pure opposition between a model of traditional society and one of the modern social life. This radical opposition has overshadowed the reality of complex innovative adaptation of social arrangements, where both principles of reciprocity and principles of association have continued to coexist.

First lines]It is very difficult to operate within the plantation economy paradigm (Best 1968; Beckford 1972; Girvan 1973), and treat history as subject to change. This was the substance of my critique in my article in NWIG 68 (pp. 77-99). lts empirical subject matter dealing with the lived experiences of smallholders (popularly designated Caribbean folk) demonstrated the limitations of the plantation paradigm in exploring the rich lives of Carib…
An alternative approach to family land tenure in the Anglophone Caribbean
Considers family land as part of the small holder sector, reflecting problems such as small size and debt. The author argues that because family land is an intrinsic component of the small holding sector, the distinction between legal and non-legal tenure needs to be revised. She concludes that economic pressures have led to the sale of family land, causing a decline in agricultural production
