"Edmondson's fascinating thesis is developed through a series of overlapping historical, sociological, and cultural arguments."--Rhonda Cobham-Sander, Amherst College
Incorporating postcolonial theory, West Indian literature, feminism, and African American literary criticism, this book carves out a relationship between the Caribbean canon and contemporary Caribbean women writers. It is of interest to those involved with postcolonial theory, African American and women's studies, and Caribbean literature.
