This bold study traces the processes by which a 'history' and canon
of Caribbean literature and criticism have been constructed. It
offers a supplement to that history by presenting 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 influenced our choices and approaches. In particular, the
book: * addresses the exclusions that have resulted from the
construction of a Caribbean canon * rethinks the dominant paradigms
of Caribbean literary criticism, which have brought issues of
anti-colonialism and nationalism, migration and diaspora,
'double-colonised' women, and the marginalization of sexuality and
homosexuality to the foreground * seeks to put new issues and
writings into critical circulation by exploring lesser-known
authors and texts, including Indian Caribbean women's writings and
Caribbean queer writings. Identifying alternative critical
approaches and critical moments, Twentieth-Century Caribbean
Literature allows us to re-examine the way in which we read not
only Caribbean writings, but also the literary history and
criticism that surround them.
