More so than other world regions, the Caribbean has been characterized as an always already colonial region. It has long been a key area for empires warring over influence spheres in the new world, and where migration waves from Africa, Europe, and Asia accompanied every political transformation over the last five centuries. In \u003ci\u003eCaribbean Migrations\u003c\/i\u003e, an interdisciplinary group of humanities and social science scholars study migration from a long-term perspective, analyzing the Caribbean's \"unincorporated subjects\" from a legal, historical, and cultural standpoint, and exploring how despite often fractured public spheres, Caribbean intellectuals, artists, filmmakers, and writers have been resourceful at showcasing migration as the hallmark of our modern age.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e List of Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Another Archive on Migration by Anke Birkenmaier\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: A Permanent Periphery: Caribbean Migration Flows and The World Economy by Alejandro Portes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 1: Unincorporated Subjects (Puerto Rico, Guam)\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: The Role of State Actors in Puerto Rico’\u003cbr\u003es Long Century of Migration (1899-2015) by Carlos Vargas-Ramos\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: ’\u003cbr\u003eMay God Take Me to Orlando’\u003cbr\u003e: The Puerto Rican Exodus to Florida before and after Hurricane Maria by Jorge Duany\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Caribbean Mediascapes: Ruins, Debt in Puerto Rico by Jossianna Arroyo\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Circumscribed Citizenship: Caribbean American Visibility by Vivian Halloran\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: From Father to Humanitarian: Charting the Intimacies and Discontinuities of Ricky Martin’\u003cbr\u003es Social Media Presence by Edward Chamberlain\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7: Terripelagoes: Archipelagic Thinking in Culebra (Puerto Rico) and Guam by Yolanda MartÍ\u003cbr\u003enez-San Miguel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part 2: Technologies of Representation (Cuba, Jamaica)\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8: The Caribbean in the US Imagination: Travel Writing, Annexation, and Slavery by Daylet DomÍ\u003cbr\u003enguez\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9: Afro-Cubana Feminisms: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Havana by Devyn Spence Benson\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10: Going Back to Cuba: How Enclaves of Memory Stimulate Returns and Repatriations by Iraida H.
