Isla que se repite
Antonio Benítez-Rojo's expanded edition of 'The Repeating Island' delves into the enduring impact of colonialism and its myths within Caribbean culture. Drawing on diverse fields such as history, economics, psychoanalysis, and chaos theory, Benítez-Rojo redefines the Caribbean. He argues that an 'island' of paradoxes emerges from the region's apparent disorder, creating a complex sociocultural archipelago. This study illustrates its unique identity through powerful readings of texts by prominent Caribbean authors.
