Revisiting the Transatlantic Triangle: The Constitutional Decolo
Revisiting the Transatlantic Triangle constitutes a comprehensive study of the decisive 5-year period, spanning between 1961 and 1967, which witnessed the unfolding of an intense decolonizing dialogue between Britain and its far-flung Eastern Caribbean possessions at the height of the Cold War. The porcess of decolonization in the so-called "Little Eight", namely Antigua-Barbuda, St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, Monserrat, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Grenada and Barbados, is more often than not overlooked in the annals of post colonial Caribbean history. The missing 'revolutionary' element in this decolonizing narrative downplays the significance and complexity of the transatlantic dialogue leading to Britain's withdrawal from this colonial melting pot; disengagment negotiations that were decisively shaped by the wider geopolitical imperatives of an easy Anglo-American special relationship.
