"Archiving Caribbean Identity: records, community, and memory" is a collection of essays edited by John A. Aarons, Jeannette A. Bastian, and Stanley H. Griffin. The book argues that traditional Eurocentric record-keeping practices are not suitable for the Caribbean and proposes a decolonial approach that draws on interdisciplinary practices. The essays explore various cultural art forms and advocate for the study of archival material created in the Caribbean. While the book has limitations, it serves as a foundational text for discussions on archives and record-keeping in the Caribbean, validating existing knowledge and inviting practitioners to reimagine record-keeping practices for the region today.
