Rihanna: Barbados World Gurl in Global Popular Culture brings together US- and Caribbean-based scholars to discuss issues of class, gender, sexuality, race, culture and economy. Drawing from literature, history, musicology, sociology, cultural studies, feminist, gender, and queer studies, the creative/cultural industries and political science, the contributors approach the subjects of Rihanna, globalization, gender and sexuality, commerce, transnationalism, Caribbean regionalis, and Barbadian national identity and development from different disciplinary and at times radically divergent perspectives.
