IThe Routledge Reader in Caribbean Literatureis an outstanding compilation of over seventy primary and secondary texts of writing from the Caribbean. Locating key writers within a specifically Caribbean framework, editors Alison Donnell and Sarah Lawson Welsh demonstrate that these singular voices have emerged not out of disparate cultures, but rather a wealth of literary tradition which, until now, was unknown or critically neglected. All twentieth century selections, both famous and less well-known are given a voice in this remarkable anthology, which encompasses poetry, short stories, essays, articles and interviews. With accessible historical and cultural introductions to the writings, this volume is a fascinating collection for anyone interested in the literature of the Caribbean or post colonial studies, as well as an ideal teaching tool.
