Soon Come Home to This Island traces the representation of West
Indian characters in British children's literature from 1700 to
today. This book challenges traditional notions of British
children's literature as mono-cultural by illuminating the
contributions of colonial and postcolonial-era Black British
writers. The author examines the varying depictions of West Indian
islands and peoples in a wide range of picture books, novels,
textbooks, and popular periodicals published over the course of
more than 300 years. An excellent resource for any children's
literature student or scholar, the book includes a chronological
bibliography of primary source material that includes West Indian
characters and twenty black-and-white illustrations that chart the
changes in visual representations of West Indians over time.
