The Caribbean stands out in the popular imagination as a 'place
without history', a place which has somehow eluded modernity. Haiti
is envisioned as being trapped in an endless cycle of violence and
instability, Cuba as a 1950s time warp, Jamaicans as ganja-smoking
Rastafarians, while numerous pristine, anonymous islands are simply
peaceful idylls. The notion of 'getting away from it all' lures
countless visitors, offering the possibility of total disconnect
for the world-weary. In On the Move, Alejandra Bronfman argues that
in fact the opposite is true; the Carribean is, and has always
been, deeply engaged with the wider world. From drugs and tourism
to international political struggles, these islands form an
integral part of world history and of the present, and are
themselves in a constant state of economic and social flux in the
face of global transformations.
