The preservation of the Afro-Caribbean immigrant heritage

Historical preservation plays a significant role in community building and ethnic identity. Focusing on Afro-Caribbean immigrants, this capstone investigates how immigrant families and communities structure themselves through literally works, civic, and social engagement. Specifically, this capstone discusses how immigrant families have prospered and suggests the contributions, tributes, and perseverance of the Afro-Caribbean immigrants should be recognized by historians. Additionally, it includes the different types of historical preservation that can be used to establish the legacy and heritage of the Afro-Caribbean people. In the larger American society there has been a tendency to forget and vagueness for identifying, distinguishing, and cherishing the historic preservations of the Afro-Caribbean immigrant. My goal is to shed light on how Afro-Caribbean immigrants, specifically those who are English-speaking, are a group where further research and scholarship is warranted.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Cassandra Belto
