- The monograph is an extended piece of research which analyses the ambivalent representations of Christopher Columbus in the cultural productions of seven Caribbean countries: Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti. The collection of primary sources required extensive fieldwork and analysis across four languages: Spanish, French, English and Creole. Part I treats themes of memory and identity in dialogue with colonial and postcolonial theories, enabling the in-depth exploration in part II of an interdisciplinary cultural corpus of fiction, non-fiction, music, performance and visual arts. The book is proposed for double-weighting due to this reach and scope.
