»Transatlantic Caribbean« widens the scope of research on the Caribbean by focusing on its transatlantic interrelations with North America, Latin America, Europe and Africa and by investigating long-term exchanges of people, practices and ideas. Based on innovative approaches and rich empirical research from anthropology, history and literary studies the contributions discuss border crossings, south-south relations and diasporas in the areas of popular culture, religion, historical memory as well as national and transnational social and political movements. These perspectives enrich the theoretical debates on transatlantic dialogues and the Black Atlantic and emphasize the Caribbean's central place in the world. »Den HerausgeberInnen ist es gelungen, viele neue Ansätze für die Betrachtung der zirkumkaribischen Welt mit ihren besonderen kulturellen Erscheinungen in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart als ein - wie sie es nennen - buntes Puzzle vorzustellen, aus dem sich der Leser das ihn speziell Interessierende heraussuchen kann.« AmerIndian Research, 10/2 (2015) »Der Band [bietet] jede Menge Denkanstöße und hinterlässt die Gewissheit, dass die Karibik heute als kultureller Raum eine weit größere Rolle spielt, als gemeinhin angenommen.« Ralf Leonhard, lateinamerika anders, 2 (2015) Besprochen in: The Chronicle, 30.09.2016 Volkskunde, 2 (2017), Johan Verberckmoes

"Ukrainian epic, or dumy, were first recorded from blind mendicant minstrels in the nineteenth century. Yet they reflect events dating back to as early as the 1300's. Ukrainian epic and historical song provides new translations in contemporary English. It also explains the historical events celebrated in epic and other historical songs: fierce battles, rebellion against tyranny, the struggles of captivity, the joys of escape from slavery. Natalie Kononenko's expert translation and analysis of Ukrainian epics provides a sweeping social history of folklore that is vital to Ukrainian identity. A translation of at least one variant of every known epic is included. Whereas earlier trends in folklore scholarship emphasized genre purity and compartmentalization, Kononenko critically examines the events about which songs were sung. Her emphasis on the lives of ordinary people rather than on leaders reshapes our understanding of how epics were composed and performed. Kononenko's ground-breaking analysis also illuminates Ukrainian self-understanding and explains how songs preserve and perpetuate historical memory. Scholars interested in epic song, history, and general folklore will benefit from this work. Members of the Ukrainian diaspora will find new appreciation of Ukrainian folklore."--
