About

Synopsis

The Caribbean World provides a comprehensive introduction to the region. Drawing principally on anthropology and the humanistic social sciences, this volume aims to highlight the diversity of the region--its peoples, institutions, and histories-while gesturing to the common heritage and unsung unity of a region birthed out of violence and dispossession. The contributors to this volume provide intimate case studies of a range of topics, including:

  • The Greater Antilles
  • The Caribbean Coast
  • The Interior
  • The smallest islands of the archipelago
  • Indigeneity, Genocide
  • Plantation Slavery, Indenture Colonial Violence, and Anti-colonial Revolt Sovereignty
  • Citizenship, Law, and Politics
  • Religion and Ritual
  • Gender and Kinship
  • The Environment.

By convening an internationally renowned cohort of authors from the Caribbean, Latin America, North America, and Europe, this volume is intended to remain a touchstone for future generations of scholars and a mainstay on undergraduate and graduate curricula as an introduction to the field.
