De acuerdo con el impulso de integración simbólica que sus ensayos sobre la cultura caribeña manifiestan, la literatura de la región se constituye como un complejo entramado de símbolos, figuras y nociones compartidas, una densa red de relaciones intelectuales que atraviesa barreras linguísticas y nacionales. Es la producción de un ensayo "de cierta manera" lo que los escritores comparten: una manera "archipiélica" en la cual la recurrencia de metáforas acuáticas -legado de los fundadores del caribeñismo como Aimé Césaire -permite a los autores inscribir una marca regional (descolonizadora) en el pensamiento posmoderno, afilándose -incluso pasado ya el espíritu revolucionario- con el impulso descolonizador de los "largos sesenta".
