330 p, Based on a decade the author spent among the African-Caribbean "Creole" people on Nicaragua's southern Caribbean coast, Disparate Diasporas is a study of identity formation and politics in that community. Shows how a particular Black community can evolve distinct types of diasporic consciousness, and, depending on the historical moment, how different types of memories, consciousness, and politics come to predominate. Focusing on the period of the 1970s and 1980s, explains the inability of the Sandinistas to come to terms with the racial and cultural challenge to the Nicaraguan nation posed by the Creole community.

Notes:
1 vol., A demonstration and defense of the continuity and centrality of the Afro-Caribbean consciousness in the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles of the Caribbean peoples. The author uses a variety of disciplines, history, politics, psychoanalysis, to bring a new way of looking at the history of Caribbean literature, from the predominance of the European preoccupation with their Europe in the 19th century, to the focus of early Caribbean writers in reproducing a colonially influenced literature in the late 19th and early 20th century.
