Identifying the frontier as a moral, ideational and physical boundary between what is imagined as civilisation and wilderness, the book seeks to extend frontier analysis by focusing on the Eastern Caribbean multi-island state of St Vincent and the Grenadines. The continuing relevance of the concept of frontier, and allied notions of civilisation and wilderness, are illuminated through an analysis of the ways in which SVG is perceived and experienced by both outsiders to the society and its insiders. Using literary sources, biographies and autobiography, the book shows how St Vincent is imagined and made sense of as a modern frontier; a society in the balance between an imposed civilised order and an untameable wild that always encroaches, whether in the form of social dislocation, the urban presence of the ?Wilderness people? or illegal marijuana farming in the northern St Vincent hills. The frontier as examined here has historically been and remains very much a global production. Simultaneously, it is argued that contemporary processes of globalisation shape the development of tourism and finance sectors, as well as patterns of migration, they connect to shifting conceptions of the civilised and the wild, and have implications for the role of the state and politics in frontier societies. 410 0$aTheory for a global age. 606 $aNational characteristics, Caribbean 606 $aNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature 606 $aBoundaries$xSocial aspects 606 $aBoundaries$xPhilosophy 606 $aPopular culture$zCaribbean Area 606 $aPostcolonialism$zCaribbean Area 610 $ast vincent 610 $afrontier 610 $acaribbean 610 $awilderness 610 $aglobalisation 610 $acivilisation 615 0$aNational characteristics, Caribbean. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature. 615 0$aBoundaries$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aBoundaries$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aPostcolonialism 676 $a306.09729 700 $aNanton$b Philip$0871421 712 02$aManchester University Press, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910160764103321 996 $aFrontiers of the Caribbean$91945409 997 $aUNINA
