| Description: |
A collection of essays, which demonstrate that the Caribbean is a multicultural geographic area that defies simple classification. It addresses a variety of subjects, from the colonial slave trade to the discourse of AIDS in the twenty-first century. It also examines the Haitian art of the Botpippel and the US imperialist fiction of Cuba. |
| Synopsis: |
The geopolitical contours of the Caribbean have changed over the centuries. Amerindian chiefdoms gave way to European colonies that have been replaced by nations of various political flavors. Connections between islands and countries vary almost as much as the languages spoken in the region.As people, cultures, and ideologies have collided over the centuries, the difficulty of describing the region has become ever more complex. "Displacements and Transformations in Caribbean Cultures" brings together some of the top scholars working on the Caribbean in a wide range of fields. They address a variety of subjects, from the colonial slave trade to the discourse of AIDS in the twenty-first century.Particularly impressive is the range of texts examined, from Haitian art of the Botpippel to U.S. imperialist fiction of Cuba. Covering all parts of the region and most linguistic groups, the essays demonstrate that the Caribbean is a multicultural geographic area that defies simple classification. |
