- Summary:
- The Cross-Dressed Caribbean extends this exploration by using the trope of transvestism not only to analyze texts and contexts from anglophone, francophone, Spanish, Dutch, and diasporic Caribbean literature and film but to highlight reinventions of sexuality and resistance to different forms of exploitation and oppression.
