Caribbean Literature in Transition, 1800–1920
This volume examines what Caribbean literature looked like before 1920 by surveying the print culture of the period. The emphasis is on narrative, including an enormous range of genres, in varying venues, and in multiple languages of the Caribbean. Essays examine lesser-known authors and writing previously marginalized as nonliterary: popular writing in newspapers and pamphlets; fiction and poetry such as romances, sentimental novels, and ballads…

Caribbean Irish Connections: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
There has been an Irish presence within the Caribbean since at least the 1620s and yet the historical and cultural dimensions of this encounter remain relatively underresearched and are often conceived of in reductive terms by crude markers such as redlegs or poor whites. While there are some striking reminders of this history througout the region, this collection explores how the complications and contradictions of Irish-Caribbean relations are …

Play It Back a Next Way: Teaching Brodber Teaching Us
This essay focuses on the densely interdisciplinary nature of Erna Brodber's textual knowledge production, its visionary quality, and the complex narrative strategies of her fictions that bear comparison with those of Wilson Harris. Mapping the scaffolding of Brodber's formal aesthetic, and her ethical and ideological frameworks, assists in navigating the rich terrain of her work. The generic fusions that comprise Brodber's writing style demand a…

The Unhomely Moment: Frieda Cassin's Nineteenth-Century Antiguan Novel and the Construction of the White Creole
With reference to a little known nineteenth century novel by an Antiguan creole woman, With Silent Tread (c1890), this paper examines the different ways in which female creole whiteness is constructed in the West Indies and in England. Paradoxically, "transcultural whiteness" exposes the ambivalence of such racial distinctions in the colonial context, and underscores the need for a more nuanced perception of whiteness as well as blackness in the …

Views and Visions: Layered landscapes in West Indian migrant narratives
This panel focuses on the crucial importance of migration and remigration to/from the Caribbean and its diaspora centres. My paper is an exploration of how visual and written narratives can be read within this context. Specifically, I want to survey a sample of nineteenth and early twentieth century constructions of the colonial West Indies by women (travelogues, journals, fictions) and if possible, compare these accounts with contemporary visual…
Women Writing the West Indies, 1804-1939: "A Hot Place, Belonging to Us"
This pioneering study surveys nineteenth- and twentieth-century narratives of the West Indies written by white women, English and Creole. It introduces a fascinating wealth of relatively unknown material and constitutes a timely interrogation of the supposed homogeneity of Caribbean discourse, especially with regard to 'race' and gender
