Book Description
Empowering the Caribbean Islands: The Role of Imports for Social Impact is a comprehensive guide to understanding the potential of import and export trade in the Caribbean region. Written by Jermaine Eric Whiteside, a recent graduate of Walden University with a Master of Science in Information Management Systems and executive education from Duke Fuqua School of Business, Harvard School of Law, Columbia Graduate School of Business, and MIT Executive Education. This book delves into how imports can improve Caribbean communities, particularly in food security, education, housing, public safety, renewable energy, and technology innovation. The author provides a detailed analysis of the potential role of imports in promoting digital inclusion and access to government services, as well as the benefits of digital inclusion and technology for developing small businesses in the Caribbean Islands. Whiteside also explores the importance of collaboration between public, private, and faith-based organizations to achieve sustainable economic growth and social impact. He highlights the importance of Jamaica, with its large trade port in Kingston and one of the largest faith-based institutions in the Caribbean, as a potential leader in importing and exporting goods to empower the public. Empowering the Caribbean Islands is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the potential of trade in the Caribbean region and the role of imports in promoting social impact. With its focus on integrating public, private, and faith-based organizations for importing and exporting goods to empower the public, the book is a valuable resource for policymakers, business leaders, and development professionals.

Book Description
This book brings together leading scholars of Caribbean education from around the world. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of Caribbean nations. In this book, the Caribbean includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The Greater Antilles is made up of the five larger islands (and six countries) of the northern Caribbean, including the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. The Lesser Antilles includes the Windward and Leeward Islands which are inclusive of Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago along with several other islands. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on the various social and cultural issues that define Caribbean education and schooling. The Handbook on Caribbean Education fills a void in the literature and documents the important research being done throughout the Caribbean. Creating a space where Caribbean voices are a part of “international” discussions about 21st century global matters and concerns is an important contribution of this work.

Book Description
This title was first published in 2003. Until recently, planning and development in the Caribbean have been "top-down", "centre-out" and "expert-led". For a few years now, though, the region has bowed to the global trend and has experimented with participatory planning methods. Participatory planning is heralded by much of the development community as the most appropriate alternative strategy to the traditional approaches. In this volume, a range of experts drawn from the Caribbean, the United Kingdom and the United States review the current achievements and future prospects for genuinely participative planning in the Caribbean region at the beginning of the 21st Century. Bringing together a wide range of case studies from both the insular Caribbean as well as mainland Central and South America, the book examines issues such as protected area planning, sustainable development councils, gender and development, inner-city redevelopment and community empowerment.

Book Description
This book offers an international perspective of philosophical, conceptual and praxis-oriented issues that impinge on achieving education for all students. It sheds light on the historical, systemic, structural, organizational, and attitudinal barriers that continue to be antithetical to the philosophy and practice of inclusive education within the Caribbean. The first section of the book examines how globalized views of inclusion informed by philosophical ideas from the North have influenced and continue to influence the equity in education agenda in the region. The second section considers how exclusion and marginalization still occur across selected Caribbean islands. It provides both quantitative and qualitative data about the nature and experience of exclusion in selected Caribbean islands, the UK and USA. The third section tackles the practical realities of transforming education systems in the Caribbean for inclusion. In particular, it identifies teacher practices as the main site of interrogation that needs to be tackled if inclusion is to be successful. The fourth and final section examines the contribution of principals and exemplars to the development and advocacy for inclusive education. It discusses how educational leadership is understood, as well as the role of school principals in making inclusion a reality in schools, the challenges experienced and the qualities of education leaders.
