Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
From wide-ranging overviews of the entire region to close readings of specific works,
this volume opens a fascinating window on the literatures and cultures of the Caribbean,
covering texts in the multiplicity of languages used in the wider Caribbean: Spanish,
English, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and the regions many creoles. Authors and works
discussed range from luminaries such as Derek Walcott to hitherto practically unknown
works in Antillean creole languages. Underlying is the idea to foster the study of
the Caribbean literary, artistic and visual text through a comparative lens, a firm
proposal to think beyond the persisting linguistic barriers and scholarly divides
in the field. As such, this book brings a new approach to the Caribbean embracing
the regions linguistic multiplicity and complexity without eschewing the many theoretical
challenges and obstacles such a scholarly endeavor entails. Because of its ample scope
this book will appeal to scholars and students working on the Caribbean and Latin
America, but also to those interested in the broader fields of postcolonial and cultural
studies
