Description: Caribes 2.0 looks at the Caribbean mediasphere in the twenty-first century. It argues that we have seen a return to tropes such as blackface, cultural and ethnic stereotypes, and violent representations of the marginalized. The booklooks at these tropes and the work of Caribbean media figures and examines how they are challenging and negotiating these media representations.
Review Quotes: "Jossianna Arroyo's Caribes 2.0 brings a variety of understudied sources to light, providing a fruitful addition to media scholarship and Caribbean studies. Most strikingly, her work forms part of a wave of Caribbean scholarship that regards the visual prominence of Black and brown death and precarity in processes of racialization. Caribes 2.0 will prove especially useful to researchers of contemporary Caribbean cultural production and virtual economies."-- "Film Quarterly"
