Abstract or Description

Author Colin Douglas and Dr Kesewa John, lecturer in Black British History at Goldsmiths, University of London, discussed Colin's latest book The Caribbean and the Second World War.

The discussion provided a longer historical context for the events of the Second World War and its impact on the region. Douglas and Dr John mapped the ambivalent relationship between the Caribbean and its colonial rulers in war and peacetime, from labour unrest before and during the war to the persistence of the colour bar in the military. Their conversation also focused on post-war Caribbean migration to Britain.
