"Caribbean Literature in Transition ambitiously redefines received ideas of this region's literary traditions to present a significantly expanded terrain for critical intervention. By extending the chronology back to 1800, before either the Caribbean or Literature had been imagined in their present currencies, challenging narrow definitions of literary production, and reaching across linguistic divides, the critical interventions that comprise this series deliver a substantially new framework for future study and research. Boldly inclusive, Caribbean Literature in Transition attends to transformations in genre, language, form, and platform as well as to the intricate creative intersections between oral, performative and literary cultures, the intensity of cultural encounters and exchanges that have forged creolized sensibilities, and the complex patterning of local and global diasporas that have remained central to Caribbean experience and have continued to shape the production and reception of its writings. The essays collected here explore how Caribbean literary history is marked by returning creative and critical preoccupations, as well as overlapping local and global connections inscribed by thick histories of oppression and resistance. The series importantly refreshes understandings of this history for the twenty first century by drawing on the invigorating theoretical insights of black atlantic studies, queer studies, eco-criticism and the digital humanities, as well as historical materials newly restored by the archival turn in Caribbean Studies. In sum, Caribbean Literature in Transition both generates fresh approaches to familiar works and brings overlooked and forgotten works into view"--

"Caribbean writing from the 1920s to the 1940s has not always received as much attention as the work published in England during the 1950s and 1960s. Close examination of this earlier period, however, illustrates that a wide range of fiction and poetry was published, much of it articulating aspects of a nationalist and anti-colonialist perspective even as other projects arose from alternative historical contexts. Focusing on the 1920s, 30s and 40s also makes visible the generic and geographical diversity: poems, poetic anthologies, short fiction and novels were written and published throughout the islands as well as in England and the United States. As a result, this early twentieth-century writing represents the range of contexts to which Caribbean writing responded: the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Revolution; migration within the region and into metropolitan locations; the Harlem Renaissance; Marxism; attention to local ecologies that also critiques the spread of global capital; the rise of U.S. imperialism in the region, the Great Depression and the crisis of British Empire beginning with the labor unrest of the mid-1930s. Consideration of single works and anthologies from the 20s to the 40s exposes the tensions between an indigenous consciousness and concepts of literary form imposed or absorbed at the junction of empire, migration and coloniality"--
