‘[This book] brings together essays by artists, policy makers, curators, and art historians from the entire region, but places special emphasis on the Dutch Caribbean as a corrective to the usual focus on Anglophone, Francophone, and Hispanophone contexts. Mimi Sheller’s afterword reflects usefully on the various “meanings of sustainability” addressed by the contributors, and underscores “the need to cultivate locally grounded ecosystems of arts training, art institutions, and art criticism, which do not simply catapult individual artists out of the Caribbean into the global circuits of metropolitan arbiters of taste, without some kind of payback.” The beautifully reproduced color illustrations, ranging from postage-stamp size to full-page, offer excellent support to the arguments in the text.’ Richard Price and Sally Price, New West Indian Guide -- .
