In Simon Gikandi's view, Caribbean literature, and postcolonial
literature more generally, negotiate an uneasy relationship with
the concepts of modernism and modernity--a relationship in which
the Caribbean writer, unable to escape a history encoded by Europe,
accepts the challenge of rewriting it. Drawing on contemporary
deconstructionist theory, Gikandi looks at how such Caribbean
writers as George Lamming, Samuel Selvon, Alejo Carpentier, C. L.
R. James, Paule Marshall, Merle Hodge, Zee Edgell, and Michelle
Cliff have attempted to confront European modernism.
