The contributions to this volume demonstrate that much remains to be done in rethinking the trope of ?madness? across Caribbean literature by local and diaspora writers. This book asks how focusing on literary manifestations of apparent mental aberration can extend our understanding of Caribbean narrative and culture, and can help us to interrogate the norms that have been used to categorize art from the region, as well as the boundaries between notions of rationality, transcendence and insanity across cultures. . 410 0$aNew Caribbean Studies,$x2691-3011 606 $aLatin American literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aLatin American/Caribbean Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838010 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 615 0$aLatin American literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 14$aLatin American/Caribbean Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 676 $a810.99729 702 $aLedent$b Bénédicte$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aO'Callaghan$b Evelyn$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTunca$b Daria$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300019503321 996 $aMadness in Anglophone Caribbean Literature$92185734 997 $aUNINA
