The Circum-Caribbean and its Diasporas constitute a space of relations and disconnections.
Historically the Caribbean served as a bridgehead for the European conquest of the Americas
and a point of exchange of human beings ideas and commodities. It also became a laboratory of
modern forms of social political and economic production. Today the region represents a
multilingual space of conviviality for many different cultures but also the focus of the
dissonances ruptures and insularities produced by its distinct histories of colonialism and
resistance. This interdisciplinary volume seeks to explore how (non)circulation of ideas
occurred historically in the glocal production of knowledge in and about the Caribbean and to
formulate a clearer picture of who is creating which vision of the Caribbean and how. The 33
contributions in this volume shed light on the transversal fields of (1) Academic and Artistic
Approaches (2) Arts and Visual Studies (3) Environment and Sustainability (4) Migration and
Knowledge Circulation (5) Entangled Histories and Memories.
