This book investigates the cultural connections between Africa and
the Caribbean, using the lens of Mobility Studies to tease out the
shared experiences between these highly diverse parts of the world.
Despite their heterogeneity in terms of cultures, languages, and
political and economic histories, the connections between the
African continent and the Caribbean are manifold, stretching back
to the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The authors in this book look to
the past as well as to the present, focusing on the manifold mobile
connections between the regions' subjects, objects, ideas, texts,
images, sounds, and beliefs. In doing so, the book demonstrates
that mobility extends beyond just the movement of people, and that
we can also see mobility in objects and ideas, travelling either in
a material sense or in imaginary terms, in physical as well as in
virtual spaces. Bringing the transdisciplinary fields of African
Studies, Caribbean Studies, and Mobility Studies into dialogue,
this book will be of interest to students and scholars across the
humanities and social sciences.
