      Explores the role of sound studies in the Caribbean context
    • Advances an understanding of the region as a connected whole, and its people and culture as a complex, evolving entity.
    • Shows how media such as home movies may be read and understood as important records of Caribbean societies and their encounters with artists and everyday workers, and expatriates.

    In this book, author Martin Munro offers a new path into Caribbean studies based on sound. He argues that to understand and begin to transform the past, present, and future of Caribbean studies, historians must do so at the node of both sound and vision. It is a transnational, multidisciplinary study that will interest anyone who knows or wishes to learn about the Caribbean.
