Emerging Caribbean: A Political Geography

Emerging Caribbean presents a unique tableau of the Caribbean Basin today, a geography that is both systematic and synthetic, engaging with the essential elements of its history. Here, one finds maps as different in their subject matter as environmental hazards and natural disasters, the postcolonial pathways to political independence, fiscal havens and illegal trafficking, and information technology networks. From the age of sugar to that of globalised exchange, this first ever cross-disciplinary study of the Caribbean Basin identifies both the profound fracture lines and points of convergence of this Mediterranean of the America s.
