Reviews
Jossianna Arroyo offers a magistral deconstruction of 21st-century forms of necropolitics insidiously wielded via Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and other digital platforms; television; and literary and cinematic production. With sophisticated straightforwardness, Arroyo compels us to critically look at the too-familiar imagery accompanying the invention and reproduction of Caribbean otherness across centuries and nations. --Odette Casamayor-Cisneros associate professor of Latin American and Caribbean Literatures and Cultures, University of Pennsylv (10/26/2022 12:00:00 AM) Caribes 2.0 offers canny insight into the logics of visibility, performance and politics that blossom in the mediascapes of a globalized Caribe. Refusing easy takes, the book tracks the afterlives of slavery and ongoing anti-Black racism as they morph and reassemble in twenty-first-century Caribbean media. Moving seamlessly between TikTok and Televisa, Santo Domingo and Orlando, Arroyo offers fascinating readings of what 'viral' racial images and outlaw performativity reveal about neoliberal codes for self-making--and their refusal. --Rachel Price Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, Princeton University
