Caribbean Cultural Heritage and the Nation
Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao in a regional context
2023 || Hardcover || Alex van Stipriaan e.a. || Leiden University Press
Centuries of intense and involuntary migrations deeply impacted the development of the creolised cultures on the Dutch Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. This volume describes various forms of cultural heritage produced on these islands over time and whether these heritages are part of their ‘national’ identifications. What forms of heritage express the idea of a shared “we” (nation-building) and what images are presented to the outside world (nation-branding)? What cu...
