Reviews
Caribbean thinkers have long challenged the central nostrums of western thought. The distinguished writers in this penetrating book join their predecessors in confronting the fiction of Westphalian sovereignty as the disabling model for political imagination and activity that it has become for a region whose problems are not best addressed in rigidly territorial form -John Agnew, UCLA Thinking beyond sovereignty in the context of the Caribbean region means exploring the idea of a future unmaking of centuries of conquest and violence. Whether in the form of 'guerrilla sovereignty' or no sovereignty at all, the people of the Caribbean, just like the people of the entire world, on whom sovereignty has been imposed as false independence and self-determination, can invent new forms of democracy and development. This is, I believe, the main thrust of this important book: a critique of the myth of sovereignty as hypocrisy and domination -- extending from the Caribbean to the world. -Bruno Gulli, Long Island University
