A Caribbean novel that isn't about diaspora by kirk_pos

I want to write a novel that is set entirely in Trinidad, features characters who never leave and never intend to, and is not organized around the question of whether they should leave or what they left behind. The diaspora frame is important and legitimate. I don't want to minimize the work being done there. But I've read a lot of contemporary Caribbean fiction and I notice that the most internationally visible novels tend to be organized around movement, displacement, the experience of the Caribbean in relation to Britain or North America. Which makes sense from a market perspective and reflects a genuine experience. But the experience I want to write is staying. Specifically, choosing to stay, or having no choice but to stay, or never having considered leaving because the place you're in is fully real to you and has everything you need to understand. The cocoa families I'm writing about were not going anywhere. The estate was the world. I'm wondering if anyone else is writing from and about a place rather than about leaving it, and whether that creates any specific difficulties with readers or feedback partners who expect the movement frame.
