“This fascinating volume breaks new ground by juxtaposing the Caribbean and Mediterranean, emphasizing their shared history of European imperialism, and resulting cultural and linguistic links in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. By proposing comparisons and highlighting connections between these regions – all the while considering a wide variety of subjects from literature and culture – the essays forge a highly innovative and interdisciplinary approach to the field of Transatlantic studies.”
