Studying the literature written in the West Indies as a regionally
unified corpus with its own identity, this analysis examines the
recurring thematic motifs and formal devices that Caribbean
literary artists have drawn from during the last six decades. The
dynamic study isolates the writers' engagements with language,
religion, and history as primary components of their cultural
discourse and argues that West Indian literary texts contain clues
to their own explication. Including authors from the Dominican
Republic, Barbados, and Haiti, this volume is one of the few that
explores the writing of all Caribbean language regions. Revised to
include updated criticism of three featured poets--Kamau
Brathwaite, Pedro Mir, and Rene Depestre--this insightful and
profound discussion presents a truly multicultural approach to
literature.
