Caribbean Literature and the Public Sphere
- Synopsis
-
Bringing together the most exciting recent archival work in anglophone, francophone,
and hispanophone Caribbean studies, Raphael Dalleo constructs a new literary history of the region
that is both comprehensive and innovative. He examines how changes in political, economic, and
social structures have produced different sets of possibilities for writers to imagine their
relationship to the institutions of the public sphere. In the process, he provides a new context for
rereading such major writers as Mary Seacole, José MartÃ, Jacques Roumain, Claude McKay,
Marie Chauvet, and George Lamming, while also drawing lesser-known figures into the story.
Dalleo's comparative approach will be important to Caribbeanists from all of the
region's linguistic traditions, and his book contributes even more broadly to debates in Latin
American and postcolonial studies about postmodernity and globalization.
