Caribbean Expressive Cultures

In this graduate seminar, we will examine a wide range of Caribbean expressive forms including literature (fiction and non-fiction), poetry, film, music, and more in order to chart the historical entanglements between political mobilization and artistic production. Paying special attention to the artistic production of Caribbean women and queer writers and scholars, this seminar traces the evolution of the dynamic aesthetic, social, and political visions that have been generated by the region's artists.
