Constructing Vernacular Culture in the Trans-Caribbean

In this volume, the editors and authors strive to understand the evolving Trans-Caribbean as a discontinuous, displacing, and displaced transnational space. The Trans-Caribbean is therefore understood as a space suspended in a double dialectic, which opposes both the hegemonic metropolitan space inhabited, as well as the romanticized, yet colonialized, "inner plantation" (Kamau Brathwaite), whose transcendence via migration perpetually turns out to be an illusion.Henke, Holger is the author of 'Constructing Vernacular Culture in the Trans-Caribbean', published 2007 under ISBN 9780739121610 and ISBN 0739121618.
