It aims to help change prevalent ways of thinking, not only about the Caribbean archipelago as a complex field of historical enquiry and cultural production, but also about the nature of globalization. It argues that the region has long been - and remains - a theatre of conflict between, as well as a site of emergence for, different forms of globalization. It thereby offers the opportunity to focus research and debate across the interdisciplinary spectrum by reflecting upon and re-imagining the idea of globalization in a specifically Caribbean context. It does so at a time when the Caribbean is urgently rethinking its own identity and place in a world where the Western economic model of globalization is more in question than ever.With contributors including Patrick Chamoiseau, Christopher Miller, Mimi Sheller and Charles Forsdick, this book will be required reading for all scholars working in Caribbean Studies.Civilizationfast(OCoLC)fst00862898Caribbean AreaHistoryCaribbean AreaCivilizationHistory.fastCivilization.972.902Sansavior EvaScholar RichardUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910798288003321Caribbean globalizations, 1492 to the present day3735180UNINA
