The Caribbean is an exotic but not too distant land, full of rich cultural traditions. The literature of the Caribbean reflects the social, political, and cultural concerns of the region and is a valuable tool for learning |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
about the area and its people. This book includes chapters on roughly a dozen contemporary Caribbean writers.

This is first intellectual history of the Caribbean written by a top Caribbean studies scholar. The book examines both the work of natives |
