This book presents the phenomenon of Afro-Caribbean poetry in English from Jamaican classic dub poetry of the 1970s to (Black) British post-dub verse of the 2000s. It showcases the literary continuum, as represented by Jamaican, Jamaican-British, and ultimately (Black) British writers – Mutabaruka, Michael Smith, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Jean Binta Breeze, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Patience Agbabi, respectively. The work of these authors represents a gradual shift from the emphasis on ethics to the preponderance of aesthetics that include social concerns typical of classic dub poetry.

The volume is a collection of essays by acclaimed and widely published international scholars of ''space'' working within different disciplines, such as social sciences, history, applied sciences and media theory, literary and cultural studies (American, Canadian, French, German, Mexican-American, and Polish). Their contributions substantiate the argument that the debate on ''space'' has produced a polyphony of argumentation which resulted in the multiplication and diversification of perspectives and interpretations of the studied concept. The volume captures the present state of the most recent debate on ''space,'' exploring the importance of its multifaceted nature evinced by the abundance of research on such related terms as ''border,'' ''boundary,'' and/or ''region.''
