The Caribbean Novel Since 1945 - Cultural Practice, Form, and the Nation-State

Offers a comparative analysis of fiction from across the pan-Caribbean. Engaging with the historical and political impact of capitalist imperialism, decolonization, class struggle, ethnic conflict, and gender relations, it considers the ways in which Caribbean authors have sought to rethink and re-narrate the traumatic past and often problematic’postcolonial' present of the region's peoples.
