Description:

The Caribbean has inspired conflicting cultural and political claims, and a wealth of visual images. We will rethink the formation, representation and self-presentation of the Caribbean countries, steering our explorations through postcolonial and postmodern theory to questions of appropriation, language and identity. Readings from Columbus and Shakespeare to Danticat, Santos Febres and Kincaid; essays by Glissant, James Benítez Rojo and others.
