THE PAN-CARIBBEAN ETHOS OF NALO HOPKINSON’S MIDNIGHT ROBBER
The term pan-Caribbean does not have a single definition. The very geographical parameters of pan-Caribbean are debatable. However, within this instability, this essay is grounded in the Caribbean perspective of what constitutes the pan-Caribbean. This is most significant as the Caribbean has not always been depicted from a Caribbean perspective and has often been stereotyped as an idyllic destination of sun, sex, sea and sand. The pan-Caribbean perspective offers a view of the Caribbean as it is held by territories that identify as Caribbean, regardless of definitions.
