Professor Jossianna Arroyo (University of Texas, Austin) will speak on her new book. Caribes 2.0 deviates from the historical-globalized views of subjected, colonized Caribbean bodies and their material conditions to examine the relationship between the local and the global in contemporary Caribbean cultures. It examines the role that media is playing in the invisibility or hyper-visibility of Caribbean cultures in the islands and the U.S. diaspora.
