Introduction
Introduction
This book belongs to a series called American Tropics: Towards a Literary Geography. Not a tightly defined geographical designation, American Tropics refers to a kind of extended Caribbean, including the south-eastern USA, the Atlantic littoral of Central America, the Caribbean islands, and north-eastern South America, with outposts even further afield. The development of the discipline of cultural geography has encouraged more sophisticated analyses of notions of space and place, which the series aims to bring to bear on its materials. This volume offers a survey across the area, sampling twelve distinct places within it, from the outpost of New York in the north to Brazil in the south. In this Introduction, the editors outline the conceptual bases of the series as a whole and of component volumes within it, and introduce the essays that make up the current collection.
