The central themes of transnational connections and identity unite explorations of change, adaptation and continuity in the experience of immigrants from the English-speaking Caribbean. A must read for scholars and practitioners with an interest in the Caribbean, the volume offers new insights to all in the field of migration studies. —Lynne M. Healy, PhD, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor, University of Connecticut School of Social Work  -- Lynne M. Healy, PhD, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor, University of Connecticut School of Social Work\u003cbr\u003eDr. Matthews and his contributors must be complimented for a book that speaks authoritatively to the numerous issues arising from the transnational nature of the current migratory trajectory. I would contend, is that it draws heavily, not only on scholars as theoreticians, but also on practitioners who must often deal with the proposed solutions. The book is a tightly focused collection of articles - insightful, readable and very coherent. I recommend it strongly as another strong addition to this growing emergent field of migration studies. —Aubrey W.
