Goldman (Spanish, U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) closely reviews the perceptions by Caribbean authors that their milieu is the perfect equivalence of island and nation and their culture is the result of that intersection and relationship. She finds that globalization has not shaken that perception, and in fact identification with island/nation/culture has actually intensified in some locales in response. She uses Hispanic Caribbean cultural production as a study of paradox, in that Caribbean people emphasize the traditional in defiance of possible assimilation, a situation that affects politics and economics as well as literature. She examines the ways of self-fashioning in the region, the limits of normative sexuality, the enforcement of the idea of border and cultural space, insular topographies developed in the diaspora, and the resulting negotiations of translocal spatiality and identity.
