Studies of sexuality in Caribbean culture are on the rise, focusing mainlyon homosexuality and homophobia or on regional manifestations of normative and nonnormativesexualities. The Cross-Dressed Caribbean extends this exploration by usingthe trope of transvestism not only to analyze texts and contexts from anglophone, francophone,Spanish, Dutch, and diasporic Caribbean literature and film but also to highlight reinventions ofsexuality and resistance to different forms of exploitation andoppression.Contributors:Ro erto del ValleAlcal University of Alcal * Lee Easton, Sheridan College Institute of Technologyand Advanced Learning * Odile Ferly, Clark University * Kelly Hewson, Mount Royal University* Isabel Hoving, Leiden University * Wendy Knepper, Brunel University * CarineMardorossian, University at Buffalo, SUNY * Shani Mootoo * Michael Niblett, University ofWarwick * Kerstin Oloff, Durham University * Lizabeth Paravisini, Vassar College * MayraSantos-Febres, University of Puerto Rico, Ro Piedras * Paula Sato, Kent StateUniversity * Lawrence Scott * Karina Smith, Victoria University * Roberto Strongman,University of California, Santa Barbara * Chantal Zabus, University of Paris13
