This volume is intended to make a strategic intervention into the discourse on these important topics, but the importance of its contribution resides in its challenge to conventional wisdom on these matters, and the multidisciplinary approach it employs. Recognized experts in the field identify these concerns in the context of globalization, economic crises, and their impact on the Caribbean.
Reviews / Votes
"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."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
