For volume 6, Forgotten Lands Publisher chose to center it around what Cuban historical novelist, critical essayist, and short story writer Antonio Benítez-Rojo once termed the ‘supersyncretic’ culture of the Caribbean - a rich tapestry of ever-evolving interwoven traditions and expressions.
Although syncretism emerges from the violent colonial histories and uprootedness of the Caribbean, each island-nation conjures different ways of expressing, coping, managing, and healing the fractures of conquest. Nonetheless, there still is a Pan-Caribbean identity that is perpetually evolving. This leads us to ask what defines the ‘Neo-Carib’? What does our cultural identity look like today and where is it going?
