Archiving Caribbean Identity delves into the profound transformation of archives in the Caribbean region, exploring the diverse range of archives that could emerge in the future and the potential for new records in innovative formats. By interpreting records in a broad sense, the 15 chapters in this volume present fresh archival interpretations, covering a wide array of records that challenge traditional Western notions of archiving. The book is organized into two parts. The first part focuses on record forms that are often overlooked in traditional Western archival practices, shedding light on the rich and diverse archival heritage of the Caribbean. The second part delves into more conventional archival collections, showcasing how these collections are analyzed and presented from the perspective of Caribbean peoples. Together, the volume offers insights into how colonial records can be repurposed to uncover Caribbean narratives. Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by developing countries in their archival endeavors, the book examines how to identify, archive, and preserve records in formats that reflect the postcolonial and decolonized Caribbean, how to build an archive that documents contemporary society and reflects Caribbean memory, and how to leverage colonial archives to aid in the Caribbean's historical reclaiming.
Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the significance of non-textual cultural traces as archival records and challenges conventional notions of records by emphasizing folk-centered perspectives. This book appeals to academics and students engaged in the study of archives, memory, culture, history, sociology, and the colonial and postcolonial experiences. By exploring the Caribbeanization of archives and the potential for new records in innovative formats, Archiving Caribbean Identity contributes to our understanding of the complex and evolving nature of archival practices in the region.
