'She has never sought to impose her ideas on us': Nurses and Transnational Affiliations
This presentation focuses on the ties, affiliations and sustained activities among the English speaking Caribbean (especially Jamaica), Britain and Canada – and, to a lesser extent, the United States. While being attentive to how transnational practices were intricately connected to the asymmetrical colonial relationships among the Caribbean and Britain and Canada as part of the British Commonwealth, lessons can be learned from the linkages and connections forged across national boundaries.
