The Politics of Labour in the British Caribbean by O Nigel Bolland
This interpretation of labour organisations and politics of the working people of the British Caribbean relates their struggle to important national, regional and global factors. The chief focus is on the period between 1934 and 1954, when a series of labour rebellions gave rise to trade unions and political parties, and led to democratic reforms, self-government, and eventually independence. The author argues that while these new institutions were ostensibly democratic, they often exhibited authoritarian tendencies that reflected the wider political culture and global context in which these democratic-authoritarian states emerged.
O. Nigel Bolland is professor of sociology and chairperson of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Colgate University, Hamilton, New York.
