Shifting the focus from poetry to the novel; from Afro-Cuban
writing to the representation of Asian-Caribbean women; from the
oral tradition to the scribal, this critical anthology develops the
debate concerning ways of reading Caribbean women's literature.
Framing The Word offers challenging perspectives from writers and
critics alike writing and/or teaching in the Caribbean, the UK and
the USA. Reflecting on the diversity within that body of literature
generally known as Caribbean women's writing, Framing The Word
moves beyond the celebratory to explore and substantiate the
central questions of gender and genre. This book will be of special
interest to students, teachers and a wider readership interested to
become better informed about this remarkable and vibrant new
writing. Contents Isms and Schisms in the Critical Frame Framing
