A historically grounded narrative reconstruction tracing Jamaican and wider Caribbean labor migration to Costa Rica from the late nineteenth century onward. Through the lens of a fictionalized migrant family spanning multiple generations, the book explores the construction of the Atlantic railway, the growth of Afro-Caribbean communities in Limón, the banana-port economy, multilingual family life, the circulation of calypso and recorded sound, and the complex networks of culture and migration across the Black Atlantic.
