This book discusses an archival turn in the work of contemporary
Caribbean writers and visual artists across linguistic locations
and whose work engages critically with various historical
narratives and colonial and postcolonial records. This refiguration
opens a critical space and retells stories and histories previously
occluded in/by those records, and in spaces of the public sphere.
Through poetics and aesthetics of fragmentation largely influenced
by music and popular culture, their work encourages contrapuntal
ways of (re)thinking histories; ways that interrogate the influence
of colonial narratives in processes of silencing but also centre
the knowledge found in oral histories and other forms of artistic
archives outside official repositories. Discussing literature and
selected artwork by artists from Britain, Cuba, the Dominican
Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad and Tobago, Memory and
the Archival Turn in Caribbean Literature and Culture demonstrates
the historiographical significance of artistic and cultural
production.
