| Descripción: | Torres-Saillant’s book contends, as its author explains, that as a region the Caribbean is a differentiated “civilizational” zone produced by the encounter of multiple cultures and by contending political and economic interests. This region, according to him, has produced an autonomous and vastbody of knowledge about itself. Nevertheless, “Caribbean intellectual history is not implicitly expressed in Western chronicles of the movement of ideas even when Western thinkers may have influenced particular cadres of Caribbean intellectuals” (5). Torres-Saillant claims that Western discourses about the Caribbean, represented in postcolonial studies, have been inimical to the Caribbean people. |
