| Sommario/riassunto: | Throughout this book, Kevin Meehan offers historical and theoretical readings of Caribbean and African American interaction from the 1700's to the present. By analyzing travel narratives, histories, creative collaborations, and political exchanges, he traces the development of African American/Caribbean dialogue through the lives and works of four key individuals: historian/archivist Arthur Schomburg, writer/anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, jazz poet Jayne Cortez, and theologian/politician Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
