The period from the 1970s to the present day has produced an
extraordinarily rich and diverse body of Caribbean writing that has
been widely acclaimed. Caribbean Literature in Transition,
1970-2020 traces the region's contemporary writings across the
established genres of prose, poetry, fiction and drama into
emerging areas of creative non-fiction, memoir and speculative
fiction with a particular attention on challenging the narrow canon
of Anglophone male writers. It maps shifts and continuities between
late twentieth century and early twenty-first century Caribbean
literature in terms of innovations in literary form and style, the
changing role and place of the writer, and shifts in our
understandings of what constitutes the political terrain of the
literary and its sites of struggle. Whilst reaching across language
divides and multiple diasporas, it shows how contemporary Caribbean
Literature has focused its attentions on social complexity and
ongoing marginalizations in its continued preoccupations with
identity, belonging and freedoms.
