To take the repeating island theory seriously is to broaden our understanding of the Caribbean region; to understand it as a way of inhabiting discontinuity that the modern world has not yet finished learning from. #cdsc #academicconcept

What does it look like when a single night in the woods changes the entire course of human history? When a prayer becomes a revolution? For Dutty Boukman, it looked like fire — and it spread across an entire island. #cdsc #duttyboukman #historicalfigurefriday

Archipelagic thinking invites us to see the Caribbean not as scattered islands, but as a network shaped by movement — of people, culture, and history. The region exists in its connections as much as its geography. #cdsc #academicconcept
