Opis

Transatlantic Caribbean expands research on the region by focusing on its transatlantic interrelations with North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa and its long-term exchange of people, practices, and ideas. Based on innovative approaches and rich empirical research from anthropology, history, and literary studies, the essays in this volume discuss border crossings, south-south relations, and diasporas in the arenas of popular culture, religion, and historical memory, as well as in the realms of national and transnational social and political movements. These perspectives enrich theoretical debates on transatlantic dialogues and the Black Atlantic while emphasizing the Caribbean's central place in the world.
