Recharting the Black Atlantic

The idea of "recharting" suggested in the volume refers both to the aim of studying the specificities of black arts, histories and ideologies against the larger background of diasporic movements around the Atlantic, and to the necessity of revisioning the theoretical cartography of the "Black Atlantic." Recharting the Black Atlantic presents a plurality of voices, all aimed at disrupting the Euro-American sense of where the center lies, and explores the interplay between local and global, modernity and tradition in the circumatlantic context.Oboe, Annalisa is the author of 'Recharting the Black Atlantic', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415961110 and ISBN 0415961114.
