About this product
Product Information
This guide is written from the conviction that Prophets is a major work of Caribbean poetry, and that whilst it can be read with enjoyment without the aid of a book of this kind, it is a work so rich in local reference and allusion that a little help can enhance the reader's understanding and pleasure. The introduction discusses Prophets in its social and political setting of 1980s Jamaica, the significance of the poem's social geography; and perhaps most necessarily, it elucidates the poem's religious context, in particular, how it relates to both Biblical and Jamaican notions of prophecy and to the emergent charismatic churches. It discusses Prophets' relationship to the key texts that influenced it, or against which it was written, including Derek Walcott's Omeros , Sylvia Wynter's The Hills of Hebron and the early novels of Alice Walker and Toni Morrison. The introduction concludes by discussing Prophets ' formal excellencies as a poem, and the themes and tropes that make it an important work in the postcolonial cannon. The introduction also discusses the important role that allusion plays in the poem and its conscious riskiness as a communicative device. The second section of summaries and annotations provides a line by line guide to the poem. This includes notes to its very specific references to the social and cultural manifestations of 1980s Jamaica, identification of places identified in the poem, but above all there are notes to the poems' many allusions: to the Bible, but also to other works of literature and to the reggae lyrics that form a bridge between the Bible, the prophetic and Jamaican popular culture.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
