The history of that crescent of islands between Miami and Caracas seems archetypal and intimate, deeply expressive of human experience in all its spectrum of possibility. In this part of the world, so many cultures and languages have converged, clashed, synthesized, and resynthesized—a continuing process further complicated and enriched by their latter-day dispersion to every corner of the globe. We see the Caribbean as as much a state of mind, of history and politics, as of place. Its literatures—so kinetic and imaginative—are among the purest of its memories and documents. The Archipelago is our attempt to celebrate a small part of that vast experience.
