The book begins by examining the historical roots of insurgency and consumption in the Caribbean. It argues that the Caribbean has a long history of resistance to colonialism and imperialism, and that this resistance has been expressed through a variety of cultural forms. The book then goes on to explore the ways in which consumption has been used as a form of resistance in the Caribbean. It argues that consumption can be a way of asserting identity, challenging authority, and creating community.

The book concludes by arguing that insurgency and consumption are essential to understanding Caribbean popular culture. It argues that these two forces are constantly in tension with each other, and that this tension is what gives Caribbean popular culture its unique and dynamic character.
