Abstract:
A dividing line, the border is usually perceived in terms of separation and rupture. It is a site of tension par excellence, at the origin of contestations, negotiations, and other conflicting patterns of inclusion/exclusion. This book takes us through an exploration of the border in the Caribbean, a region that is both geographically fragmented and strongly interconnected through its history, culture, and people. This collection of scholarly articles interrogates the border within the specificities of the Caribbean context, including its socio-political dynamics and literary and artistic representations. Contributors thus apply critical perspectives to the study of border transgressions and the resultant reconfigurations of space in the Caribbean and its diaspora. The volume takes a transdisciplinary approach that spans the social sciences, cultural geography, geopolitics, cultural studies, and literary studies, and offers a truly global perspective on the subject. The contents of the book also stretch beyond geographic and linguistic borders, as the contributors come from diverse scholarly backgrounds, institutions, linguistic areas, and areas of research expertise.
