Exploring Caribbean identity in the West Indian cricket context

Professor Roderick Hewitt joined the Caribbean Cricket Podcast to discuss the significance of Caribbean identity in the 21st century context

What does it really mean to be West Indian in the 21st century? Is the identity a complete misnomer in the modern context?

For a ‘brand’ that means so much to so many cricket fans around the globe what does the West Indies cricket team actually mean to the people of the Caribbean?

Are we West Indian or are we people of Caribbean? - Is the notion a failed construct?

One thing is for certain if you dont study West Indian history how can you truly expect to understand West Indies cricket?

With that in mind, my father, Professor Roderick Hewitt joined me for a live conversation on the role Caribbean identity plays today.

The recording was done with a live You Tube audience so it does include many of their comments as part of the conversation.
