Borders between states are being challenged by transnational flows bound to bypass such discontinuities. Territories as we know them are on the verge of death but ironically, borderisation is spreading-as a political response to fear and demands for higher security. A trend that has not spared the present-day Caribbean-an ideal observation post when it comes to modern, global issues. The fruit of (sometimes forced) mass migration waves, it is home to an original Creole culture, born of the brutal womb of slave plantations. Creolisation strips root-identities from their sacred aura, just like transnationalisation challenges border-territories through political strategy. Considering the way culture and politics interact in their midst, how do these two globalising processes relate to each other? How and to what extent may the Creole rhetoric make sense of borderisation as experienced in diaspora and across the Caribbean area?
