Studies of sexuality in Caribbean tradition are at the upward push, focusing
regularly on homosexuality and homophobia or on neighborhood manifestations of normative and
nonnormative sexualities. The Cross-Dressed Caribbean extends this
exploration by utilizing the trope of transvestism not just to investigate texts and contexts from
anglophone, francophone, Spanish, Dutch, and diasporic Caribbean literature and movie but in addition to
spotlight reinventions of sexuality and resistance to diversified different types of exploitation and
oppression.
