The Caribbean is the convergence point for a culture of modernity, forged through histories of slavery, indentureship, migration, genocide, and colonialism. This section offers critical reflections on how this culture of modernity has informed constructions of race and anti-Blackness in popular culture.
We have chosen the spectral as its organizing theme to track how anti-Blackness haunts, lingers, appears and disappears in popular culture and quotidian life. This section is thus dedicated to tracking the spectral qualities of racism and anti-Blackness, by mapping its visual, material, sonic, and cultural apparitions in the everyday.
