In the early 20th century, labourers from the British West Indies immigrated to Cuba, attracted by employment opportunities. The Anglo-Caribbean diaspora flourished, but the years after the 1959 revolution saw the dismantling of many of their cultural institutions. This book turns an ethnographic lens on their descendants who moved to 'rescue their roots' by revitalizing their ethnic associations and re-establishing transnational ties.
