When I first wrote about Caribbean Cosmopolitanism and the potential for ethnographies of cosmopolitanism in the 1990s the ideas involved perhaps seemed strange and out of place. Nowadays cosmopolitan perspectives in social inquiry and the notion of methodological cosmopolitanism are commonplace and ubiquitous.

This is a contribution to the 2018 revised edition of Gerard Delanty's Routledge Handbook in Cosmopolitan Studies.
