The Colonial Caribbean in Transition is a general study that seeks to explain broad social and cultural developments in the region in the long period between the 1830s and the 1940s. It combines social history with the cultural studies approach, including literature as a part of culture. These are areas much less researched than political, colonial/imperial, and economic developments, which have been the main focus of the literature. The essays also combine general, wide-ranging analyses with the case study approach.
The volume is inspired by the life and work of Donald Wood, Reader Emeritus in History at the University of Sussex, Britain. Wood's Trinidad in Transition: The Years After Slavery (1968) is unquestionablya classic of Caribbean historiography and his approach to social history has served as a model for history writing on Caribbean society in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He has been the mentor, guide and friend of countless men and women engaged in researching the history of the region.
