Epilogue Available to Purchase

The book concludes with a short epilogue on the legacies of the networks created by Caribbean administrators. Many remained within the spheres of the British and French empires, reproducing fault lines between Africa and the Caribbean, but their trajectories nonetheless created new connections across the Atlantic. These alternatives to London- and Paris-centered geographies established a foundation from which others, including figures such as Kamau Brathwaite and Frantz Fanon, could imagine new political forms. The epilogue closes with a reflection on the possibilities of gathering the fragments of scattered histories.
