Global Displacements The Making of Uneven Development in the Caribbean

* Opens up new avenues for the analysis of global production as a long-term development strategy
* Contributes novel theoretical insights drawn from the everyday experiences of disinvestment and precarious work on people's lives and their communities
* Represents the first analysis of increasing uneven development among countries in the Caribbean
* Calls for more rigorous studies of long accepted notions of the geographies of inequality and poverty in the global South
