Description
The Irish presence in the Caribbean has been present since at least the 1620s, yet its historical and cultural dimensions remain relatively underresearched. This collection explores how the complexities and contradictions of Irish-Caribbean relations are more nuanced than previously recognized. By challenging traditional narratives, this book makes an important contribution to both Irish studies and Caribbean studies. It highlights the importance of understanding the shared historical experiences of dislocation, diaspora, and colonization between Ireland and the Caribbean. The contributors emphasize the need to consider the transatlantic nexus in terms of direct encounter and cultural expression. This collection pays tribute to the rich tradition of cultural exchange that informs both cultures and their imagination of each other.
