Abstract

[George Lamming suggests that the concept of West Indianness was born in London, out of the islanders’ need to overcome their isola-tion in the metropolis (The Pleasures of Exile 214). Extending Lamming’s point to the archipelago as a whole, one could argue that Caribbeanness and pan-Caribbeanism were born in the diaspora. Indeed, most pan-Caribbean ideologists—including José Martí, Eugenio María de Hostos, Ramón Emeterio Betances, Alejo Carpentier, Frantz Fanon, Édouard Glissant, E. Kamau Brath-waite, and Lamming himself—spent extensive periods of time in exile, albeit self-imposed in some cases.]
