The Routledge Handbook of Caribbean Studies provides a critical collection of world-class scholarship about this fascinating, diverse and dynamic region.
Bringing together new and established voices on the Anglophone, Francophone, Spanish-speaking and Dutch-speaking Caribbean, the handbook explores the cultural and historical shapes and reach of the region, as well as the environmental, climatic and (geo)political challenges that it faces in the 21st century. Each of its four parts – Environment, (Geo)politics, History and Culture – explores the region’s conceptual and material entanglements and disentanglements, its transnational and transregional connections and disconnections, and its historical wakes and posts.
The Routledge Handbook of Caribbean Studies is essential reading for all who want to know more about this much-studied but often misrepresented and misunderstood region.
Patricia Noxolo’s research brings together the study of international culture and in/security, and uses postcolonial, discursive and literary approaches to explore the spatialities of a range of Caribbean and British cultural practices. She was awarded the 2021 Royal Geographical Society (RGS) Murchison Award and is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. Pat has led two international teams exploring Caribbean in/securities and creativity, and is a co-lead of University of Birmingham’s Stuart Hall Archive Project. She is a co-founder of the Fi Wi Road internships for Black Geography undergraduates. Pat is a committee member of the RACE group of the RGS, former chair of the Society for Caribbean Studies and former co-editor of Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers.
