Abstract

"De la plantación al resort: El Caribe en el siglo veintiuno" by Emilio Pantojas García is a collection of essays that explores various topics related to the Caribbean. The book examines the transition from plantation economies to the rise of tourism and leisure industries, as well as debates about regional integration and the formation of a shared identity. The author utilizes political economy and historical analysis to critique capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism, highlighting ongoing global inequities. However, the book lacks engagement with scholarship that could deepen and nuance its arguments, and it fails to include perspectives from female Caribbeanist scholars, limiting its comprehensive view of the issues at hand.
