Taking up the challenge of redefining modernity from a Caribbean perspective instead of assuming that the North Atlantic view of modernity is universal, this book shows how the Caribbean's contributions to the modern world not only provide an accurate account of the past but also have the potential to change the way in which we imagine the future.
