"Women at Sea provides a vibrant critical analysis of competing discourses on Caribbean culture in travel writing. Essays show how social landscapes are gendered battlegrounds between nationalism and cultural colonization, patriarchy and female independence. Editors Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert and Ivette Romero skillfully weave multiple Caribbean exchanges on hybridity, gender-bending, race, autobiography and ideology in the construction of historical narratives. Without a doubt, it is a seminal work in Caribbean literary criticism." -Consuelo Lopez Springfield, University of Wisconsin, Madison "The writers are an exciting group..." - Choice, "Women at Sea provides a vibrant critical analysis of competing discourses on Caribbean culture in travel writing.
