About the Book

"A splendid volume that develops coherently and interconnects in many different ways. . . . The editors have attracted the leading scholars in Latin American cultural studies. . . . Sensitive both to history and to current debates in literature and culture."--John King, University of Warwick

While difficult to define--and sometimes even to locate--the Hispanic Caribbean is fraught with tension. The region includes nations that have common histories yet very different contemporary political characteristics. This collection maps out the reasons behind the tensions and looks specifically at the distinctive causes and founding concepts of the area.
