The Other America Other America: Caribbean Literature in a New World Context Caribbean Literature in a New World Context - Paperback

by J. Michael Dash (Author)

A wide-ranging work that explores two centuries of Caribbean literature from a comparative perspective. While haunted by the need to establish cultural difference and authenticity, Caribbean thought is inherently modernist in its recognition of the interplay between cultures, brought about by centuries of contact, domination, and consent.
