Caribbean Migrants delves beyond two Leeward Islands, focusing on English settlement in St. Kitts and Nevis since 1623. It explores regional movements, including labor, farming, maritime work, and fishing. Richardson's ecological analysis explains the islands' environmental decline, prompting islanders to seek subsistence elsewhere. While plantation slavery shaped the landscape, the book emphasizes post-1838 migration. Emancipation enabled freedpeople to move more freely. The destinations, such as Bermuda, Dominican cane fields, Trinidad, Aruba, Britain, and North America, are examined. Richardson shifts scholarly focus from Caribbean migrations to Europe, based on archival research and fieldwork, featuring profiles of individual migrants. This work laid the foundation for later studies like "Panama Money in Barbados, " which examines migrants' roles and remittances in home societies.
