Este ensayo plantea históricos y actuales debates sobre el Caribe como región. La autora se pregunta por qué la plantación sigue siendo la explicación identitaria predominante. Asimismo, se hace el cuestionamiento de si la integración caribeña, a pesar de décadas de esfuerzos, sigue siendo una utopía. El libro también es un viaje por el Caribe insular y continental con el propósito de conocer mejor sus entrañas, sus misterios y sus realidades. Travesías realizadas de varias maneras. La primera es a través de sus libros y sus autores. De esta manera conoceremos mejor, por ejemplo, a Martinica y la obra de uno de sus grandes creadores: Eduard Glissant. Y viajes directos, personales en los cuales la autora es una observadora participante en el Caribe colombiano, de Cuba y de Haití, solo para mencionar algunos.
