summary:
Draws on history, economics, sociology, cultural anthropology, psychoanalysis, literary theory, and nonlinear mathematics. Using chaos theory, the author argues that within the apparent disorder of the Caribbean--the area's discontinuous land-masses, its different colonial histories, ethnic groups, languages, traditions, and politics--there emerges an "island" of paradoxes that repeats itself and gives shape to an unexpected and complex sociocultural archipelago.
