Profoundly interdisciplinary and nearly Pan-Caribbean in scope, Caribbean Migrations transforms our understanding of how migration has shaped the Caribbean and how Caribbean migration has shaped the United States. The analysis of Caribbean people on the move, asserting political power across digital platforms and through art, explodes the long-held notion that Caribbean migration is the story of flight from poverty to a better life in the United States and breaks down the boundary between Caribbean and American Studies. --Leah Rosenberg co-editor of Beyond Windrush: Rethinking Postwar West Indian Literature The starting point of Caribbean Migrations is a series of reflections that help illuminate the fascinating legal fiction that is Puerto Rico's 'unincorporated' status, using the unique experiences of Puerto Rican subjects as a poignant counterpoint and a compelling framework to understand Caribbean migration more generally. Together, the essays in this collection offer a rich blueprint to understand pervasive as well as new forms of colonialism, virtual and real citizenship, affect, and structural violence in a post-disaster world. --Guillermina De Ferrari author of Community and Culture in Post-Soviet Cuba
