The Indigenous Peoples of Trinidad and Tobago from the First Settlers until Today, by Arie Boomert
Ethnography, Multisited
Multisited ethnography advances a transnational research method that follows peoples, objects, and ideas that are connected across a number of sites. Numerous studies of migration, media, and development have adopted this approach.

Anthropology
Questions and debates about the end of anthropology are highlighted here for their potential value in revealing what the ‘crisis talk’ in the discipline really means, and what it may be masking.

Ruins of Absence, Presence of Caribs
This study of a contemporary culture documents the vitality of a number of self-constructed indigenous communities in the postcolonial Caribbean. These small groups, which have asserted their presence through folklore, tradition, and ceremony, have received recognition and support from the state, attention from national media, and a privileged place in historical discussions of the figure of the Carib. The Caribbean is typically thought of as hav…
