Shifting Homelands and Travelling Identities: Writers of the Caribbean Diaspora

Writers of the Caribbean Diaspora: Shifting Homelands, Travelling Identities is a multi-faceted collection of essays that unfolds the charge of the Caribbean writer to represent a region with a complicated history and an even more complex future. It encompasses the work of Caribbean writers living and writing abroad, rather than at home and thus, evaluates, critiques and reflects on Caribbean identity and reality from the perspectives of exiled authors. Questions of race, nation-building and postcolonial separation/connection, the Caribbean landscape, and navigating the minefield of culture are thoroughly examined.
