Book excerpt: "The Hispanic Caribbean is not easy to define or locate, and such processes of naming are fraught with tension: where is the Hispanic Caribbean? What is distinctive about this region? What challenges face those who attempt to define and locate it?" "The essays collected in this volume individually and collectively expose some of these tensions. The use of the term 'culture' in the plural is meant to register the dialectic of homogeneity and diversity which Antonio Benitez Rojo reminds us characterizes the Caribbean as a whole."--BOOK JACKET.
