Description

Walton Look Lai offers a comprehensive study of Asian immigration and the indenture system in the entire British West Indies - with particular emphasis on the experiences of indentured labourers in the major receiving colonies of British Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica. Exploring living and working conditions as well as the make-up of immigrant communities and their cultures, Look Lai offers a "dialectical pluralist" model of Caribbean acculturation that contrasts with the more familiar "melting pot" or "pure pluralist" model.

Author Biography:

Walton Look Lai is Lecturer in History at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago. He is a former Rockefeller Foundation fellow at the Asian American Center, Queen's College, City University of New York.
