| Summary |
"This bold study traces the processes by which a 'history' and canon of Caribbean literature and criticism have been constructed, and offers a supplement to that history by suggesting new writers, texts and critical moments that help to reconfigure the Caribbean tradition." "Focusing on Anglophone or Anglocreole writings from across the twentieth century, Alison Donnell asks what it is that we read when we approach 'Caribbean Literature', how it is that we read it, and what critical, ideological and historical pressures may have shaped our choices and approaches."--Jacket |
