We do not consider it noteworthy when somebody moves three thousand miles from New York to Los Angeles. Yet we think that movement across borders requires a major degree of adjustment, and that an individual who migrates 750 miles from Haiti to Miami has done something extraordinary. Charles V.

Reviews for Postnationalism in the Caribbean
Carnegie has taken up his pen, and his fine scholarly intelligence, against the nation-state, its lofty pretensions and its low crimes, its interferences as well as its betrayals. Challenging in its provocations and substantive in its arguments, this book is a welcome ontribution to studies of nationalism and the Caribbean. - David Scott, Columbia University
