From the Preface and Acknowledgments:
Eight of the ten papers in this book were originally prepared for the Third Caribbean Colloquium organized by the Universities of Surrey and Sussex in cooperation with the Department of Caribbean Studies of the Royal Institute of Linguistics and Anthropology. The title for the book also comes from that meeting, which took place in Leiden in December, 1977.
