Reviews
"Equaliberty in the Dutch Caribbean is a compelling collection of debates, case studies, and ethnographies of belonging. It is a philosophical and cultural search for a political space of comfort between colonial dependence and autonomy. Focusing on the non-sovereign status of the Caribbean it opens up the possibility for articulating notions of freedom and liberty in the region." -- Linden Lewis * editor of Caribbean Sovereignty, Development, and Democracy in an Age of Globalization *
"With editors persuasively arguing for a revolutionary non-Western vision of non/sovereignty, this outstanding anthology offers an enlightening alternative look at questions of belonging, and equality and freedom (equaliberty). In case after case in the Dutch-Caribbean, contributors challenge Western-imposed notions of sovereignty and envision new political and socio-cultural futures, making significant contributions to Caribbean Studies and beyond." -- Antonio Sotomayor * author of The Sovereign Colony: Olympic Sport, National Identity, and International Politics in Puer *
