- Summary:
- What is the relationship of cultural hybridity to social equality? Why have some forms of hybridity been enshrined in the Caribbean imagination, and others disavowed? What is the appeal of cultural hybridity to nationalist and post-nationalist projects alike? What can we learn from the hybridization of Afro-Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean cultures set in motion by slavery and indentured servitude? In answering these questions, this book intervenes in several important debates in postcolonial studies about cultural resistance and popular agency, feminism and cultural nationalism, the relations between postmodernism and postcolonialism, and the status of nationalism in an age of globalization.
