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. Along with plot summaries, these sections discuss major themes and give close attention to how Caribbean culture figures in the writer's texts. To help students conduct further research, each chapter cites works for further reading.Literature as windows to world cultures.Caribbean literature (English)History and criticismCaribbean literature (French)History and criticismCaribbean literature (Spanish)History and criticismCaribbean literatureHistory and criticismLiterature and historyCaribbean AreaNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literatureCaribbean AreaCivilizationCaribbean AreaIn literatureCaribbean literature (English)History and criticism.Caribbean literature (French)History and criticism.Caribbean literature (Spanish)History and criticism.Caribbean literatureHistory and criticism.Literature and historyNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature.809/.89729Paravisini-Gebert Lizabeth694119DLCDLCBOOK9910782734903321Literature of the Caribbean3680314UNINA
