A long sequence of social, cultural, and political processes
characterizes an ever-dynamic Caribbean history. The Caribbean
Basin is home to numerous linguistic and cultural traditions and
fluid interactions that often map imperfectly onto former colonial
and national traditions. Although much of this contact occurred
within the confines of local cultural communities, regions, or
islands, they nevertheless also include exchanges between islands,
and in some cases, with the surrounding continents. recent research
in the pragmatics of seafaring and trade suggests that in many
cases long-distance intercultural interactions are crucial elements
in shaping the social and cultural dynamics of the local
populations. The contributors to "Islands at the Crossroads"
include scholars from the Caribbean, the United States, and Europe
who look beyond cultural boundaries and colonial frontiers to
explore the complex and layered ways in which both distant and more
intimate sociocultural, political, and economic interactions have
shaped Caribbean societies from seven thousand years ago to recent
times. ContributorsDouglas V. Armstrong / Mary Jane Berman / Arie
