Summary:

"The Routledge Handbook of Caribbean Studies provides a critical collection of world-class scholarship about this fascinating, diverse and dynamic region. Bringing together new and established voices on the Anglophone, Francophone, Spanish-speaking and Dutch-speaking Caribbean, the handbook explores the cultural and historical shapes and reach of the region, as well as the environmental, climatic and (geo)political challenges that it faces in the 21st century. Each of its four parts - Environment, (Geo)politics, History and Culture - explores the region's conceptual and material entanglements and disentanglements, its transnational and transregional connections and disconnections, and its historical wakes and posts. The Routledge Handbook of Caribbean Studies is essential reading for all who want to know more about this much-studied but often misrepresented and misunderstood region"-- Provided by publisher.
