  • - The Politics of Regional Representation
     
    50,00 €

    Examines the ways in which the ""romance"" trope is employed within contemporary Caribbean popular culture and literature to idealize the newly independent postcolonial societies of the region. These essays situate this discourse of idealization within its historical and cultural contexts.

  • - Women's Theatre and Performance frm the French Caribbean
    von Emily Sahakian
    49,00 €

    Examines seven plays by Ina Cesaire, Maryse Conde, Gerty Dambury, and Simone Schwarz-Bart that premiered in the French Caribbean or in France in the 1980s and 1990s and soon thereafter travelled to the United States. Emily Sahakian argues that these late-twentieth-century plays by French Caribbean women writers dramatize and enact creolization.

  • - Latin America in the U.S. Imagination
    von John Patrick Leary
    52,00 €

    Explores the changing place of Latin America in US culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the recent US-Cuba detente. In doing so, it uncovers the complex ways in which Americans have imagined the global geography of poverty and progress, as the hemispheric imperialism of the nineteenth century yielded to the Cold War discourse of "underdevelopment".

    von Julie-Francoise Tolliver
    46,00 - 81,00 €

    From the 1950s to the 1970s, the idea of independence inspired radical changes across the French-speaking world. Julie-Francoise Tolliver examines the links that writers from Quebec, the Caribbean, and Africa imagined to unite that world, illuminating the tropes they used to articulate solidarities across the race and class differences.

  • - Early Creole Novels and Anglophone Caribbean Culture in the Age of Emancipation
    von Candace Ward
    43,00 €

    Examines a group of early nineteenth-century novels by white creoles, writers whose identities and perspectives were shaped by their experiences in Britain's Caribbean colonies. White creoles faced a considerable challenge in showing they were driven by more than a desire for power and profit. Crossing the Line explores the integral role early creole novels played in this cultural labour.

  • - The Haitian Diasporic Imaginary
    von Nadege T. Clitandre
    43,00 - 87,00 €

    Offers a comprehensive analysis of Edwidge Danticat's exploration of the dialogic relationship between nation and diaspora. NadTHge T. Clitandre argues that Danticat - moving between novels, short stories, and essays - articulates a diasporic consciousness that acts as a social, political, and cultural transformation at the local and global level.

  • - The Uses of Gossip in Caribbean Literature
    von Ana Rodriguez Navas
    50,00 - 96,00 €

    Gossip - long derided and dismissed by writers and intellectuals - is far from frivolous. In Idle Talk, Deadly Talk, Ana Rodriguez Navas reveals gossip to be an urgent, utilitarian, and deeply political practice - a means of staging the narrative tensions, and waging the narrative battles, that mark Caribbean politics and culture.

    von Miguel Arnedo-Gomez
    37,00 €

    The Afrocubanismo was an artistic and intellectual movement in Cuba in the 1920s and 1930s that tried to convey a national and racial identity through poetry. This book treats the poetry of this movement, and questions the assumption that the poetry did manage to symbolize racial reconciliation and unification.

    von Shane Graham
    54,00 - 99,00 €

  • - Third Space in Dominican and Haitian Literature
    von Megan J. Myers
    43,00 €

    Considers how certain literary texts confront the dominant and, at times, exaggerated anti-Haitian Dominican ideology. Megan Jeanette Myers examines the antagonistic portrayal of the two nations, endeavouring to reposition Haiti on the literary map of the Dominican Republic and beyond.

    von Charlotte Rogers
    56,00 - 101,00 €

    41,00 €

    Combining research, political philosophy, and intellectual history, this book explores the invention of universal emancipation - both in the context of the Age of Enlightenment and in relation to certain key figures and trends in contemporary political philosophy.
