- Approaching literary history zooming in on geographical regions rather than national territories, On the Edge is the first literary/cultural history of Hispaniola’s borderland. Spanning from early colonial to contemporary texts, its 430 pages foreground a largely neglected multilingual body of work and visual interventions. Produced during ten years of archival and on-the-ground externally funded research (AHRB; Leverhulme Trust), described as an ‘exhaustive and omnivorous intercultural archive,’ ‘a must read for literary scholars and historians of the Caribbean and Latin America,’ On the Edge reveals long-standing cross-border collaboration and transnational interculturality, providing a refreshing and much-needed counter-history of this contested borderland.
