About this book

Spencer Mawby analyses the conflicts between the British government and Caribbean nationalists over regional integration, the Cold War, immigration policy and financial aid in the decades before Jamaica, Trinidad and the other territories of the Anglophone Caribbean became independent.

Reviews

“Ordering Independence examines the decolonization of the Anglophone Caribbean. … Undergraduate and postgraduate students … will love Mawby’s work. It covers after all the whole region and provides them with a step-by-step overview of the negotiations between nationalist leaders and British policymakers.” (Henrice Altink, Journal of Contemporary History, Vol. 51 (1), 2016)
