About this title

From Library Journal:

Caribbean literature is an emerging literature with a growing number of writers. Cartey's critical study examines approximately 70 novels by 26 Caribbean authors. Divided into two parts--"I Going Away: The Shaping of the Caribbean Personality" and "I Going Home: An Evolution of the Caribbean Presence"--Cartey's study explores the historic and psychological effects of colonialism and racism on a culture that is now, through independence, discovering its own identity and heritage as a multiracial society. Readers will become familiar with the themes, images, and recurrent motifs that characterize the literature and define "Caribbeanness." A welcome addition to the limited criticism on Caribbean literature and essential for academic libraries.
