Raktažodžiai:
"The period from the 1970s to the present day has produced an extraordinarily rich and diverse body of Caribbean writing that has been widely acclaimed. Caribbean Literature in Transition 1970-2020 traces the region's contemporary writings across the established genres of prose, poetry, fiction and drama into emerging areas of creative non-fiction, memoir and speculative fiction with a particular attention on challenging the narrow canon of Anglophone male writers. It maps shifts and continuities betweenlate twentieth century and early twenty-first century Caribbean literature in terms of innovations in literary form and style, the changing role and place of the writer, and shifts in our understandings of what constitutes the political terrain of the literary and its sites of struggle. Whilst reaching across language divides and multiple diasporas, it shows how contemporary Caribbean Literature has focused its attentions on social complexity and ongoing marginalizations in its continued preoccupations with identity, belonging and freedoms"--

This volume offers comprehensive insights into the diversity of Caribbean literature, writers, themes, genres, and political interests. Drawing on the approaches of postcolonial studies, gender studies, queer studies, eco-criticism, and digital humanities, these essays open up new critical horizons and bring an expanded tradition into view.

Recenzijos

'Caribbean Literature in Transition, 19702020 will remain a rich source for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars within Caribbean studies, diaspora studies, postcolonial studies, and performance studies who are interested in the political, cultural, and social life of the literary imagination this volume functions as a necessary reflection on some of the major developments in Caribbean literary production over the past fifty years.' Jovante Anderson, Journal of West Indian Literature 'The new and timely perspectives on migration, gender, and the environment, amongst other topics, enable this series to bring attention to an incredibly diverse canon of writers, literary forms, and historical contexts. In doing so, the volumes invite readers to revisit established figures - with Walcott and Naipaul still looming large - whilst also re-examining Caribbean literary history to include a corpus of voices that are not necessarily anglophone or male-centric. For this reason, the series deserves to lay the foundations of new critical explorations into the heterogeneity and global scope of Caribbean creativity from its roots in the colonial past through to its many fluid and fragmentary strands in the present.' Matthew Whittle, Journal of Postcolonial Writing
