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. 410 0$aLiterature as windows to world cultures. 606 $aCaribbean literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature (Spanish)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature (French)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zCaribbean Area 607 $aCaribbean Area$xIn literature 607 $aCaribbean Area$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCaribbean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature (Spanish)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature (French)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history 676 $a809/.89729 700 $aParavisini-Gebert$b Lizabeth$0694119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454297303321 996 $aLiterature of the Caribbean$92035590 997 $aUNINA
