Bridging the Divide to Face the Plantationocene: The Chlordecone Contamination and the 2009 Social Events in Martinique and Guadeloupe -- 2.

A “New” Antillean DOM Arts Scene, or the Pragmatic Aesthetics of Patience: Artincidence, Annabel Guérédrat, Daniel Goudrouffe, Henri Tauliaut, and Jeannette Ehlers -- 9. Buskando nos mes: Giving Meaning to National Identity in Curaçao, Past and Present -- 10. The Parallels and Paradoxes of Postcolonial Sovereignty Games in the Dutch and French Caribbean: The End of the Netherlands Antilles and Construction of New Dutch Caribbean Political Entities and Relations -- Acknowledgments -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: The Struggle of Non-Sovereign Caribbean Territories is an essay collection made up of two sections; in the first, a group of anglophone and francophone scholars examines the roots, effects and implications of the major social upheaval that shook Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Réunion in February and March of 2009. They clearly demonstrate the critical role played by community activism, art and media to combat politico-economic policies that generate (un)employment, labor exploitation, and unattended health risks, all made secondary to the supremacy of profit. In the second section, additional scholars provide in-depth analyses of the ways in which an insistence on capital accumulation and centralization instantiated broad hierarchies of market-driven profit, capital accumulation, and economic exploitation upon a range of populations and territories in the wider non-sovereign and nominally sovereign Caribbean from Haiti to the Dutch Antilles to Puerto Rico, reinforcing the racialized patterns of socioeconomic exclusion and privatization long imposed by France on its former colonial territories.
