A Course in Caribbean Civilisation (University Level)

This course aims to:
• Introduce the concept of the Caribbean as an autonomous knowledge area worthy of its own separate study.
• Highlight the importance of historical methodology for the creation of the collective regional memory.
• Enable students to interrogate the concept of “Caribbean identity” especially in
relation to diverse ideas of regional (dis)integration.
Motivate students to understand the Caribbean region as an area for development that needs their own intellectual input.
• Provide students with the tools necessary to engage in critical reflection on the
Caribbean in the 21st century.
