It is the primary association for scholars and practitioners working in the Caribbean Region (including Central America and the Caribbean Coast of South America).” CSA members come from the Caribbean Region, North America, South America, Central America, Africa, Europe and elsewhere. Founded in 1974 by 300 Caribbeanists, the CSA membership and associates has increased to as many as 1000-plus. Visit https://www.caribbeanstudiesassociation.org for more information.
