The George Beckford Papers

George Beckford's work is characterized by a remarkable consistency of purpose and vision. This collection presents the unfolding of George Beckford's work from agricultural economics to political economy, to the social economy of "man space", to the cultural roots of Caribbean creativity and a vision of one independent, sovereign and self-reliant Caribbean nation. His purpose was to reveal the legacy of dispossession originating in the slave plantation experience of African people in the New World; to "free the mind" from the internalization of attitudes of inferiority and "Afro-Saxon" mimicry.
