Comparing the effects of transnationalism in Central Europe with its effects in the English‐speaking Caribbean reveals the unique features of the Caribbean: it is an area that has for centuries been both rooted in strong African ethnicities and deeply penetrated by global capitalism. This means that while the task of global capitalism in Central Europe is radical rupture, its task in the Caribbean is one of realignment. Complex interrelations between international and national economic forces are producing critical changes in identity, class, and political orientation in the Caribbean. Despite deep economic and cultural penetration and significant economic and political shifts toward globalization, transnational symbols have been appropriated by informal transnational activities and popular culture to reinforce nationalism and to carve out a space from which resistance can be maintained.
