Beyond Borders: Cross-Culturalism And The Caribbean Canon

by Jennifer Rahim (Editor), Barbara Lalla (Editor)

Beyond Borders is a multidisciplinary collection of essays focusing on contemporary issues in Caribbean cultural studies. The essays in this collection explore cross-cultural themes across a range of disciplines that include literature, language, education, history and popular culture. They will interest a broad cross-section of regional and international readers, including a wide range of scholars, professional teachers, students and members of the general public wishing to understand the complex dynamics of Caribbean culture. The issues of cultural survival and negotiation, with which most of these essays deal, serve to foreground a history of domination, resistance and marvelous transformations within and beyond the borders of this archipelago.
