I teach Caribbean literature at Florida Atlantic University. I'm interested in comparisons between the different language group traditions in the region, as well as the relationship of literature to social movements throughout Caribbean history.
Since starting on the tenure-track at FAU in 2006, I have received honors and grants including the FAU University Scholar of the Year Award and a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies. I participated in an NEH Summer Institute at Johns Hopkins University on the topic “Slaves, Soldiers, Rebels: Currents of Black Resistance in the Tropical Atlantic, 1760 – 1888,” and my research has been supported by the Tinker Foundation and FAU’s Lifelong Learning Society for travel to archives in Jamaica, Cuba, and Guyana.
My essays have been published in journals such as Small Axe, Journal of West Indian Literature, South Asian Review, and Interventions, and I serve on the International Advisory Board of the journal Latino Studies. I am coauthor of The Latino/a Canon and the Emergence of Post-Sixties Literature (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007), a study of recent Latino/a literature’s relationship to the ideologies of the civil rights era. My most recent book is titled Caribbean Literature and the Public Sphere: From the Plantation to Postcolonial, published by University of Virginia Press in 2011.

Caribbean Literature and the Public Sphere -
Bringing together the most exciting recent archival work in anglophone, francophone, and hispanophone Caribbean studies, Raphael Dalleo constructs a new literary history of the region that is both comprehensive and innovative. He examines how changes in political, economic, and social structures have produced different sets of possibilities for writers to imagine their relationship to the institutions of the public sphere. In the process, he provides a new context for rereading such major writers as Mary Seacole, José Martí, Jacques Roumain, Claude McKay, Marie Chauvet, and George Lamming while also drawing lesser-known figures into the story. Dalleo's comparative approach will be important to Caribbeanists from all of the region's linguistic traditions, and his book contributes even more broadly to debates in Latin American and postcolonial studies about postmodernity and globalization.
