Caribbean Crossroads: Race, Identity, and Freedom Struggles
Series Editors: Lillian Guerra, University of Florida; Devyn Spence Benson, University of Kentucky; April Mayes, Pomona College; and Solsiree del Moral, Amherst College
More than any other region of the Americas, the Caribbean has been continuously defined by the push and pull among global white supremacy and Black liberation, colonial and anticolonial impulses, and the struggle for freedom against externally imposed economies and political systems. This series focuses on these varied and contradictory histories of the region with a particular focus on Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and their transnational ties. Importantly, books explore the Caribbean as a racialized space and name the ways whiteness and Blackness work in the region. The series is dedicated to publishing projects based on fieldwork in Caribbean libraries, archives, homes, and streets that reflect local “Caribbean from within” experiences and viewpoints. Thus, books about Caribbean history, broadly defined, which may include some literature and anthropology, are welcome.
