Caribbean and Latin America

Selwyn R. Cudjoe. Beyond Boundaries: The Intellectual Tradition of Trinidad and Tobago in the Nineteenth Century. Wellesley, Mass.: Calaloux Publications; distributed by University of Massachusetts Press, Amherst. 2003. Pp. xi, 393. Cloth $70.00, paper $19.95.

Trinidad and Tobago are islands, the emerged peaks of a mountain system that runs out into the Caribbean from Venezuela. Together they make up the nation-state Trinidad and Tobago, which achieved independence from Britain in 1962. They were first amalgamated, for imperial fiscal simplicity, in 1889, and united as a single colony in 1899. Earlier, Tobago had been tossed between European nations until finally falling into British hands in 1802. Britain took Trinidad from the Spanish in 1797. For almost the whole of the nineteenth century, then, Trinidad and Tobago were separate British colonies, with distinct identities and trajectories. Tobago was the smaller, poorer place. They were joined together without much enthusiasm.
