The book argues that attention to the relational dimension implicit in exchanges around ideas of anticolonial struggle, radical social transformation, and anti-fascist resistance should inform analyses of cultural production in Caribbean and Atlantic insular spaces. On Tropical Grounds develops a persuasive critical model for the investigation of politically and aesthetically situated archipelagic relations that transgresses disciplinary boundaries and reconfigures our conception of the avant-garde as a global movement that was overdetermined by racial, gender, and colonial conflicts.
This book will be of value to anyone interested in Caribbean and Atlantic studies, avant-garde and visual culture studies, and literary and cultural studies.
Industry Reviews
“On Tropical Grounds executes a cultural, intellectual, and literary history of striking depth and inimitable originality. Avant-garde canons of knowledge are constellated as they separate but hold together the idea of island, islandness, and insularity running through the Hispanic and Francophone Caribbean and the Canary Islands. This mosaic of resounding thoughts is literary and visual theory, not of a particular time, but it is a vital reference for our time. It is a must-read for all those who are thinking about the Caribbean and the Atlantic world vis-a-vis? dynamic but often hard-to-articulate traces, disruptive spaces, conceptual grasps.”
