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.
