In "Migrant Modernism, " J. Dillon Brown examines the
intersection between British literary modernism and the
foundational West Indian novels that emerged in London after World
War II. By emphasizing the location in which anglophone Caribbean
writers such as George Lamming, V. S. Naipaul, and Samuel Selvon
produced and published their work, Brown reveals a dynamic
convergence between modernism and postcolonial literature that has
often been ignored. Modernist techniques not only provided a way
for these writers to mark their difference from the aggressively
English, literalist aesthetic that dominated postwar literature in
London but also served as a self-critical medium through which to
treat themes of nationalism, cultural inheritance, and
identity.
