Yep, Caribbean Studies is often complemented with Black Studies where indigeneity is a decolonizing project. To add to this, indigeneity is also situated with Indigenous studies.
The quick turn to “experts” on Latin America and the Caribbean… shows how the apparatus of Area Studies was developed in the Cold War for just this: conquest, war studies.
Caribbean studies, at its best when anchored in Black studies and indigeneity, is the opposite, a decolonizing project.

I began reading "In Praise of Love and Children" by Beryl Gilroy. The novel highlights how a Guyanese woman named Melda migrates to London, England, in the 1950s and finds solace among the children of Black pioneers. #blackbritishfiction #caribbeanfiction

I highly recommend reading this book titled Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing From The Antilles, edited by Thomas Glave. It effectively captures the visibility of lesbian identity. I wish it used more of a queer of color critique.

There is a need for more literature on how migration among Afro-Caribbean women migrants can foster a sense of queer liberation. Particularly, it is essential to consider how these migrants experience freedom in other areas.
