Helen Thomas examines the ways in which Caryl Phillips responds
both creatively and critically to the psychological effects of
cultural dispersal, racism and economic exploitation in the black
Atlantic. Highlighting the continuing negotiations between Britain
and its previous colonies, this study demonstrates the ways in
which Phillips’s fictional and non-fictional work reformulates
contemporary and historical traumatic crises and corresponding
agents of survival. Phillips’s work is discussed not only in
terms of critical emphasis upon past events, but also in terms of
its vision of a more expansive dimension of collective experience.
