H-Caribbean is an H-Net network sponsored by the Association of Caribbean Historians. This network seeks to overcome the linguistic, political, and geographic fragmentation that has traditionally characterized the field and region; provide access to debates and discussions on Caribbean studies; act as a resource to academics teaching and researching in associated fields; and reinforce the growing awareness of the region as an important and rich area for further research and study.

In keeping with the theme of the 2018 Congress ("Latin American Studies in a Globalized World"), I'm putting together a panel, tentatively titled "Translating/Transplanting the Caribbean," seeking papers that explore and problematize how the experience of the Caribbean and its attendant theories are translated/transported to Latin America, other spaces, and theoretical frameworks beyond the geopolitical construct understood as the Caribbean proper.
