Abstract In the editors' introduction, the scope of the volume is laid out for a broad readership. The editors present the concept of the book, which covers five decades of scholarship, historical source texts and literary and cultural production from the six Caribbean islands of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the broad terrain of gender studies. The selection of texts foregrounds voices from the region and features key texts that illuminate the diversity and complexity of gender history, culture and politics in these islands.
