AbstractThe reconfiguration of the global security order since the late 1980s has had a heavy impact on regional security in the Caribbean. Having lost strategic importance, the Caribbean states have been attempting to restructure their relationship with the United States. These small states are interested in building a regional security regime that is inclusive, transparent, and accountable. This analysis shows how the principle of subsidiarity may be employed to achieve that end.

Abstract: Emerging from the author’s own diasporic experience in the Caribbean, the UK and the United States, Edgar Nkosi White’s drama reflects the reality of the raciallyoppressed from multiple perspectives. Focusing on the theatre’s spatial expressivity, this essay analyses the metaphorical value of his theatrical spaces. Through these deterritorialized geographies, the readers and spectators of Edgar Nkosi White’s theatre are able to recognize loci of racial confrontation from a cross-cultural viewpoint, thus enlightening their perception of the global, conflictive space they share.Resumen: A partir de la experiencia diaspórica del propio autor en el Caribe, el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos, el teatro de Edgar Nkosi White refleja la realidad de las víctimas del racismo desde una perspectiva múltiple. Tomando la expresividad espacial del teatro como eje principal, este artículo analiza el valor metafórico de los espacios escénicos de su obra. A través de sus geografías desterritorializadas, los lectores y espectadores de Edgar Nkosi White pueden reconocer lugares de confrontación racial desde una perspectiva transcultural, iluminando así su visión del espacio global y conflictivo que comparten.

This concluding chapter reflects on the success of Garveyism in both the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean. It considers how the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) had offered a powerful ideological and political vehicle for African activists during the dark years of interwar European rule, and how the impact of Garveyism continues to be felt in the continent. In the United States, as in Africa, the efforts of American Garveyites to construct vibrant organizational containers during an inauspicious decade resonated through the years. Finally, in the Caribbean, the return of labor radicalism in the mid-1930s both eclipsed established modes of Garveyist political association and boasted a leadership that had been nurtured within the Garvey movement.
