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.
