| Summary |
"A study of gossip's place in the literature of the multilingual Caribbean. Studying recent Hispanic Caribbean texts alongside diasporic literature and works from the region's Francophone and Anglophone traditions, Rodriguez Navas argues that the study of gossip, and especially of its hitherto unremarked status as an essentially adversarial practice, offers an important new perspective on the literature, culture, and power dynamics of the Caribbean region"-- Provided by publisher |
