Beyond the Legacy of the Missionaries and East Indians: The Impact of the Presbyterian Church in the Caribbean

By Jerome Teelucksingh

In Beyond the Legacy of the Missionaries and East Indians, Jerome Teelucksingh offers a revisionist perspective of the role of the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad. He is particularly interested in social mobility as regards the Indo-Caribbean diaspora in the era following the First World War. He argues that the Presbyterian Church in the Caribbean was particularly interested in women's rights. As such, he examines the dynamic between local expertise and Canadian missionary work in such social uplift processes.
