Drawing on contemporary deconstructionist theory, Gikandi looks at how such Caribbean writers as George Lamming, Samuel Selvon, Alejo Carpentier, C. L. R. James, Paule Marshall, Merle Hodge, Zee Edgell, and Michelle Cliff have attempted to confront European modernism. 606 $aCaribbean fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWest Indian fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zCaribbean Area 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zWest Indies 615 0$aCaribbean fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWest Indian fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a823 700 $aGikandi$b Simon, $0221560 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910272349603321 996 $aWriting in limbo$91265642 997 $aUNINA
