Description: Intent on recovering the interior history (la infrahistoria) of this astonishingly diverse Caribbean region, Antonio Benitez-Rojo ranges widely across time and geography. He also experiments with a variety of narrative techniques and prose styles, each intended to capture some unique aspect of the Caribbean's heterogeneous, polyrhythmic cultural heritage.
