Our Caribbean Kin

Race and Nation in the Neoliberal Antilles

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What has determined whether Antillean solidarity movements fail or succeed? In this comprehensive new study, Alai Reyes-Santos argues that the crucial factor has been the extent to which Dominicans, Haitians, and Puerto Ricans imagine each other as kin. Our Caribbean Kin considers three key moments in the region's history: the nineteenth century; the 1930s; and the past thirty years.
