- Caribbean Literature in English

Catalog description

The Caribbean is home to hundreds of islands and many nations, but the shared history of European colonialism and the Atlantic trade in enslaved people has given some geopolitical coherence to the region, which is culturally, ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse. Though literature from the Caribbean is written in many languages, this course surveys Anglophone Caribbean literature and it analyzes it within the historical, political, and social contexts of colonialism, postcolonialism, and diaspora.
