The Australian Association of Caribbean Studies invites Caribbean scholars to participate in the February 2023 online conference.
In many ways, the Caribbean sits at the epicentre of the world. For much of its colonial history, it was a key site of imperial conquest, strategy, and war, and it remains a region where cultures collide and mutually reshape each other. There have been varied experiences of crossing paths in the Caribbean, from explosive clashes during colonisation, which led to the genocides of indigenous peoples and the trauma of enslavement, to complex and revealing encounters brought about by modern tourism, intra-regional travel, and other cosmopolitan exchanges. Often friendly, sometimes violent, frequently curious -- the crossing of paths in the Caribbean has always had profound results. This theme explores the causes, occurrences and consequences of paths being crossed in this unique place.
