What is Narratives of Exile and Return about?

<p><br>In this original and compelling book, Chamberlain explores the nature and meaning of migration for Barbadians who migrated to Britain and elsewhere. Locating migration within the contemporary debate on modernity, Narratives of Exile and Return highlights the continuing role of migration in shaping the culture and history of Barbados. But it does more by providing post-modern theorizing with concrete national and ethnic settings. In reclaiming these narratives of exile and return, this book challenges and exposes, in an exciting and innovative way, those orthodox views that explain Caribbean migration through the labor demands of international capital or the vagaries of the home economy.<br></p> <h3>Booknews</h3> <p>Social historian Chamberlain explores the nature and meaning of migration for people of Barbados who migrated to Britain and elsewhere. Based on interviews, often with three or more generations, she demonstrates how such travels fit into family dynamics and values, and discusses the place of the Mother Country in Caribbean culture and vise versa. Nearly 100 pages is devoted to narratives. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.</p>
