Customer Reviews:
Humane, readable.June 15, 2005 Like all of Gmelch's books, this is well written in a non-academic accessible style. The book presents well-rounded and humane portraits of the complex lives of migrants, relating the Caribbean experience of movement to the sense of 'home' more effectively than most abstract discussions of transnationality. This would be an excellent choice for any introductory class on Caribbean culture.
