It draws on original qualitative research with 48 lower-level employees across two Jamaican organisations. It asks a question the existing literature has never posed: what does psychological safety require when those being asked to speak up inherit, through nearly three centuries of colonial history, every rational reason to remain silent?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book argues that the existing psychological safety literature is based on an unexamined assumption that employees arrive at work without a historically produced inheritance that shapes what psychological safety means to them. In the Caribbean context, that assumption is wrong. The five cleavages of Caribbean society and the six lessons of the social curriculum absorbed before any employee enters their first workplace are combined to produce cognitive appraisal conditions that no existing framework has accounted for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is the Caribbean Psychological Safety Framework: six evidence-based principles for building genuine psychological safety in postcolonial organisational contexts. The sixth principle - the historical self must be acknowledged, not overridden - is an original contribution to the international literature. It is not an addition to Edmondson’s framework, but a re-framing that addresses its historical blind spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorent J.
