Editorial Reviews
Review
"[P]rovides a superb introduction to the region's colorful literature...."The Reader provides sound examination and historical and cultural perspectives through the writings of such legends as C.L.R. James, Derek Walcott and Jean Rhys. It also includes some contemporary writings from such writers as Jamaica Kincaid, John Vidal and Merle Hodge."
"This is an excellent collection of 20th century works of poetry, short prose, and nonfiction from Anglophone and Creole Caribbean (West Indian) literature. The editors have achieved their goal of presenting selections less readily available, provising a representative sample of both famous and less-well-known authors."
-"Choice, January 1997
