The Caribbean has played a crucial geopolitical role in the Western pursuit of economic dominance, yet Eurocentric research usually treats the Caribbean as a peripheral region, consequently labelling the inhabitants as beings without agency.
Examining asymmetrical relations of power in the Greater Caribbean in historical and contemporary perspectives, this volume explores the region’s history of resistance and subversion of oppressive structures against the backdrop of the Caribbean’s central role for the accumulation of wealth of European and North American actors and the respective dialectics of modernity/coloniality, through a variety of experiences inducing migration, transnational exchange and transculturation. Contributors approach the Caribbean as an empowered space of opposition and agency and focus on perspectives of the region as a place of entanglements with a long history of political and cultural practices of resistance to colonization, inequality, heteronomy, purity, invisibilization, and exploitation.
An important contribution to the literature on agency and resistance in the Caribbean, this volume offers a new perspective on the region as a geopolitically, economically and culturally crucial space, and it will interest researchers in the fields of Caribbean politics, literature and heritage, colonialism, entangled histories, global studies perspectives, ethnicity, gender, and migration.

Menschen, Dinge und Konzepte sind weltweit in Bewegung geraten. Welche Effekte haben diese vielfältigen Wanderungsbewegungen zwischen Kulturen und Disziplinen auf politisches Handeln und auf die wissenschaftliche Praxis? Wie lassen sich die unterschiedlichen Migrations- und Transformationsprozesse in Bezug auf Geschlechterverhältnisse analysieren? Die inter- und transdiziplinären Beiträge dieses Bandes (aus Kultur-, Sozial-, Politik- und Rechtswissenschaften) nehmen nicht nur die Migration von Menschen, sondern auch die von kulturellen Artefakten sowie von Ideen und Konzepten in den geschlechterwissenschaftlichen Blick.
