This handbook covers the history, policy, practice and theories of African and Caribbean education and promotes the sustainability of socio-cultural beliefs, values, knowledge and skills in the regions. Africa and the Caribbean share commonalities of the geopolitical and historical dominance by European empires and colonialism and aftereffects of anti-blackness in the global trade in enslaved persons. Indigenous religious, cultural, and ethnic currents in Africa are echoed in the Caribbean along with a strong infusion of Asian and other ethnic influences. The handbook shows how educators in both regions are grappling with Western education eclipsing indigenous epistemology and contributes to important debates and discourses including culturally relevant teaching, decolonization, critical race theory, Africana studies, Black emancipation, the African diaspora, Bi-cultural experiences, and the climate emergency. It is organized into three sections covering past issues that frame education in Africa and the Caribbean; the present challenges and opportunities of Education in the regions; and future opportunities for education post-2020.

This book provides a wealth of insights for research in the Caribbean and the global South more broadly. Its premise - that the specifics of life in these parts of the world are essential in observing, documenting, and transmitting knowledge in and about them - challenges Western-centric approaches and expands visual research methodologies for Caribbean-specific contexts. Visual research methods offer a pathway to documentation and representation of phenomena across multiple domains in various genres of experiences. This compendium of conceptual/theoretical, arts-based and non-arts based empirical research makes the case for visual modality in those research methodologies. The chapters document research in the small countries in the Greater and Lesser Antilles and those that are adjacent to the Caribbean Sea, such as Belize and Bermuda. Altogether, they provide qualitative insight into the human story of sub-populations as well the usefulness of visual tools in representing, documenting, and expressing the meaning and meaning-making that resides there.
