"Ex-Centric Souths: (Re)Imagining Southern Centers and Peripheries" adds a voice in ongoing attempts to chart new routes and to decenter the South in many ways in the hope of exploring Southern identity and multiple Souths. The articles collected in this volume bring to the forefront the translocal and transnational connections and relationships between the South and the circum-Caribbean region; they address the changing nature of Southernness, and especially its sense of place, and finally they investigate the potential of various texts to narrate and revisit regional concerns. Some contributions hold up to view topics ignored and marginalized, while other decontextualize themes and issues central to Southern studies by telling alternative histories.

Los artículos recogidos en este volumen se centran en las conexiones y relaciones translocales y transnacionales entre el Sur y la región del Caribe, abordan la naturaleza cambiante de la identidad sureña, especialmente su sentido del lugar, y, finalmente, investigan el potencial de varios textos para narrar y revisar las preocupaciones regionales. Algunas contribuciones muestran temas ignorados y marginados, mientras que otras descontextualizan cuestiones centrales de los estudios del Sur al narrar historias alternativas."Ex-Centric Souths: (Re)Imagining Southern Centers and Peripheries" adds a voice in ongoing attempts to chart new routes and to decenter the South in many ways in the hope of exploring Southern identity and multiple Souths.

Ex-Centric Souths: (Re)Imagining Southern Centers and Peripheries" afig una veu en els continus intents de traçar noves rutes i descentrar el Sud de moltes maneres amb l'esperança d'explorar la identitat del Sud i dels múltiples hemisferis. Els articles recollits en aquest volum es centren en les connexions i relacions translocals i transnacionals entre el Sud i la regió del Carib, aborden la naturalesa canviant de la identitat meridional, especialment el seu sentit del lloc, i, finalment, investiguen el potencial de diversos textos per a narrar i revisar les preocupacions regionals. Algunes contribucions mostren temes ignorats i marginats, mentre que unes altres descontextualitzen qüestions centrals dels estudis del Sud en narrar històries alternatives.
