Timeline

2011

Among the many books Cudjoe has written are Caribbean Visionary: A. R. F. Webber and the Making of the Guyanese Nation (2011), The Role of Resistance in Caribbean Literature (2010), and Beyond Boundaries: The Intellectual Tradition of Trinidad and Tobago in the Nineteenth Century (2002). His 2018 book, The Slavemaster of Trinidad: William Hardin Burnley and the Nineteenth-Century Atlantic World, is described by Henry Louis Gates, Jr as a "beautifully written and meticulously researched account of Burnley’s life" that "unfolds the story of a planter who was born in America, educated in England, and made his fortune in the Caribbean. Measured in tone, this book not only exposes Burnley’s public and private racism, but also places his life in context of the greater historical currents of the first half of the 19th century Atlantic world. Cudjoe has written a volume essential to a full understanding of the history of Trinidad." According to Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Keith Rowley, "Cudjoe’s new book should be used as a teaching tool in all schools across the country." The Slavemaster of Trinidad was announced on the 2019 longlist for the OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature.
