Cur Síos:This article is part of a broader research project that explores the porous borders of the Mainland Caribbean area and its links to the insular Caribbean region. In particular, my interest centres on different expressions of connectivity and/or disconnectivity  to be found in literary texts from the Mainland Caribbean where we find situations —as with Yucatan or Belize— of quasi-insularity, but where these multicultural territories at the same times share histories that fuse and run across political limits. The last four decades have seen an explosion of literary texts in Belize, that show different responses to the question of a national culture. In this article I identify some of the projects and innovative actions that begin to challenge the image of the nation, focusing on women, migration and borders.
