The Caribbean Social Justice Agenda

Edited by Marlon Anatol; Mark Kirton and Ashaki L. Dore - Contributions by Timothy Affonso; André Vincent Henry; Clement Henry; Julianna Vanessa Davis; Dylan de Gourville; Alana Griffith; Hannah Gabrielle Katwaroo; Saadiqa Khan; Rawle Lucas; Kerry-Anne Roberts-Kasmally and Kobina Wilson

This book is committed to the issues related to social justice in the Caribbean, and seeks to increase dialogue among practitioners, unions, labor activists, academics, policy-makers and other individuals from across the social sciences and humanities. It is purposely multidisciplinary in orientation, intending to cover issues related to work, workers, labor, and related topics, as well as social, organizational and institutional aspects of work and industrial relations. It aims to set the tone for discourse on a wide range of issues related to the future of work and sustainable Caribbean development, social justice, industrial relations, governance systems, social protection, social dialogue, cooperatives and community empowerment, the future of education, migration and security, among others, nationally, and regionally. This work represents contemporary scholarly contributions from researchers presenting original and innovative research that contribute to the theory, practice and public policy dimensions of work, migration, labor, industrial relations, and related issues.

About the Contributors

“The editors, Marlon Anatol and Mark Kirton, skilfully combined revisionist perspectives and innovative research in a masterpiece that provides a more enlightened understanding of the complexities of social justice in the Caribbean. Relevant and distinctive themes explored by the authors include rural development, globalization, energy security, Venezuelan migration, empowerment, digital transformation, cooperatives, and sustainable development among CARICOM/CSME countries.

Undoubtedly, The Caribbean Social Justice Agenda will prove to be an invaluable asset for scholars and practitioners who desire to better comprehend the quest for self-empowerment and tense power struggles. These developments are evolving amidst the socio-political, psychological and cultural dynamics of a rapidly changing region.”
