Summary:The central question this paper explores is the significance of the dress of three Caribbean icons, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Marcus Garvey, and Fidel Castro whose contribution toward the invention and maintenance of a path of freedom out of slavery in Caribbean history is indelible. Its core argument is that their uniforms functioned as mirrors that mediated a process of interaction to construct a collective sense of identity, imagination, and liberty that transcend them.
