Caribbean Island Movements explores the different ways in which
being mobile is central to the production and reproduction of
social identities on the Caribbean island of Culebra. Rather than
seeing insularity and mobility, and its associations, as mutually
exclusive components, this ethnographic study demonstrates how they
mutually inform each other. The book proposes the term of
"transinsularism" as a means to articulate the complex ways in
which islanders construct a unique place for themselves in the
world, while referencing and engaging in practices of movement.
Based on a long term relationship to the Caribbean island of
Culebra, it describes how mobile islanders select from various, at
times contradictory, discourses and practices in the process of
fashioning their sense of island identity. It makes the case for a
conscious social creative process where a group of individuals
finds ways to narrativise a life-world that operates in tension
with structural social forces associated with nation-building,
colonialism, and "landed narratives".
