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 $aCaribbean literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature (French)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature (Spanish)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and history$zCaribbean Area 606 $aNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature 607 $aCaribbean Area$xCivilization 607 $aCaribbean Area$xIn literature 615 0$aCaribbean literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature (French)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature (Spanish)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history 615 0$aNational characteristics, Caribbean, in literature. 676 $a809/.89729 700 $aParavisini-Gebert$b Lizabeth$0694119 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827013903321 996 $aLiterature of the Caribbean$94076410 997 $aUNINA
