Summary:

From the expansionist fervour of the late nineteenth century through the Cold War, dreamers campaigned for Canada's union with the British Caribbean. Dominion over Palm and Pine traces the transnational ebb and flow of these campaigns, situating them in the global history of colonialism and white supremacy, Black activism, and decolonization.
