West Indian Americans  

Definition(s)

  • West Indian Americans are immigrants from the former British West Indies, Belize, and Guyana and their U.S.-born offspring. Although there has always been a steady stream of immigration from these home countries to the United States, the bulk of the immigration occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
