Abstract: Few recently published texts are available on migration in the Caribbean. In this book, Oral Robinson correctly identifies this deficit, homing in on the lack of a consolidated body of research which explores regional identity. Robinson’s work is thus a welcome contribution to this genre, as well as to the broader literature which examines regional integration. Drawing on interactions with Caribbean Community (CARICOM) migrants, the work privileges the voice of CARICOM citizenry, constituents who are not always referenced in discussions around progress on freedom of movement. Indeed, the book highlights the contradictory elements of the divisiveness of discourse related to intra-regional migration and the exclusion of everyday citizens in decisions regarding freedom of movement. The work thus delves deeply into the impact of provisions to support freedom of movement within CARICOM by reflecting on the lived experiences of CARICOM community nationals. ; peer-reviewed
