Reviews
“Callaloo Nation is a solid contribution to anthropological theory and Caribbean ethnography. In helping us to understand that group identity is in constant flux, Aisha Khan shows, far better than just about anybody else, what the term ‘essentialize’ really means.”—Sidney Mintz, author of Caribbean Transformations
“Aisha Khan is an exceptional ethnographer. Callaloo Nation brings to fruition her many years of ethnographic research focused on both Indo-Trinidadians and the social construction of their identities. There is nothing like this work in the literature on the Caribbean or on postcolonial societies in any region. It will be a shaping force in social science research on the Caribbean.”—Dan Segal, coauthor of Jane Austen and the Fiction of Culture: An Essay on the Narration of Social Realities
