Catalog description

Students will learn to appreciate the cultural diversity of this post-colonial literature and will become familiar with its important themes and stylistic techniques. Students will also experience the multi-dialectal richness and flavor of the Anglophone Caribbean as expressed by authors from linguistically diverse islands.
