- Abstract
Afro-Caribbean radicalism is very much intertwined with the waves of migrations that drove people from various Caribbean islands to North America, South America and other Latin American Societies. In this paper I revisit the immediate years after emancipation into the early twentieth century to discuss in particular the Caribbean peoples of Jamaica of African ancestry, the racial and political climate that propelled their trek to Panama and Cuba and the dynamics they met while working in the American industries of those societies that provoked militant consciousness that gave rise to a Marcus Garvey, Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and Garveyites of various stripes.
