The History of Asians in the Caribbean Part 1

Asian American History 101

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 22. June is National Caribbean American Heritage Month! This is a great reason to focus on The History of Asians in the Caribbean. We have colonialism to thank for much of that, but what were the economic conditions that led up to the mass migration of Asians, mostly from India and China, to the Caribbean nations? We also provide a quick hockey update in the beginning of the episode and end with a segment of Celebrations. This time we’re celebrating the HUGE wins for Asian Pacific Americans in the James Beard Awards.
