About this product
Product Information
Caribbean literature and culture have all too often been viewed in fragmented terms, without attention to the broader commonalities of the region. In this collection of essays written over many years, Roberto Márquez offers a more encompassing vision, one that respects the individual traditions of particular locales, languages, and cultures but also sees the larger themes that bind the area's literary heritage and history. Márquez begins by making the case for a genuinely Caribbean literary criticism, one that moves beyond the colonial history of fragmentation and isolation and the critical insularity of more conventional approaches. His pan-Caribbean perspective provides a point of departure for the scrutiny of the evolving dramas of race, nationality, nation-building, and cultural articulation in the region. Márquez then focuses specifically on Puerto Rico--its literary and socio--historical experience, the particularities of its "New Creole" incarnations, and the effects of waves of migration to the United States. In the final section of the book, he discusses writers and cultural figures from the other Spanish, Anglophone, and Francophone territories and the ways in which they engage or reflect the defining themes of literature, race, and national identity in Antillean America.

Reviews
"The volume will in my view be recognized as a seminal text of Caribbean intellectual production, one that gathers the sustained meditation of a foremost scholar and thinker over three and a half decades."--Silvio A. Torres-Saillant, author of An Intellectual History of the Caribbean "This engaging study provides readers with a fresh look at Caribbean literary history. . . . The study includes meticulous treatments of prominent figures, including José Martk, Nicolis Guillén, and John Hearne. In sum, a valuable contribution to the field of Caribbean studies. . . . Recommended."-- Choice "Professor Marquez's collection of essays about the culture of the New World Islands is perhaps the most elegantly written anthology of its kind. . . . The collection succeeds exactly how he describes the success of Nicolas Guillen's best poems: as a 'canny juxtaposition of the most heterogeneous texts.'"-- Latino(a) Research Review "Seeing the book whole, the essays are united by Marquez's formidably archipelagic knowledge of the region and by his elegantly sumptuous prose, whose long sentences break onto the reader's inner ear with the rhythm of waves meeting the beach in the Bahia de Rincon. . . .
