This paper explores ways in which frameworks of intercultural engagement used in Caribbean Literary Translation Studies and in Critical Global Citizenship Education contest those implied by the managerialist discourse of internationalization currently predominant in Anglophone Caribbean and other higher education systems. The work of Édouard Glissant, particularly, is used to exemplify the potential of Caribbean thought for supplying rich forms of inter-relation that acknowledge the inherently problematic character of intercultural interactions. Literary translation flows between the Anglophone Caribbean and Cuba are invoked as a possible site of pedagogical and research development around the ideas discussed.
