Notes:
387 p, This text tells of the struggle of the Indo-Caribbean people. From 1838 to 1917 over half a million indentured labourers were shipped from India to the Caribbean and settled in the former British, Dutch, French and Spanish colonies. Like their predecessors, the African slaves, they laboured on the sugar estates. In 1998 in the English-speaking Caribbean alone there are an estimated one million people of Indian descent and they form the majority in Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago. Based on official reports and papers, and unpublished material from British, Indian and Caribbean sources, this text aims to fill a gap in the history of the Caribbean, of India, Britain and other European colonial powers.

Notes:
224 p, A letter "en souffrance," in psychoanalytical terms, means a letter that has not been delivered; so Chancé's use of the term in relation to Caribbean authors means not so much that they are "suffering" as that they have not been heard by the ideal reader they seek to reach. Chancé examines the ways in which Caribbean writers such as Chamoiseau, Confiant, Glissant, Condé, and Maximin create texts that synthesize aspects of oral and written literature as well as the Creole and French languages in order to lend their narrators authority as storytellers, in an attempt to better communicate with this long-sought ideal reader. Includes an interview with Chamoiseau from 1997; a bibliography of literary and linguistic theory, anthropology, history, sociology, literary journals, and conferences; and an index of proper names.;

Notes:
Though only a small percentage of the quarter million Indians who came to Guyana, the South Indian Madrasis, now much dispersed through emigration to North America, played an influential role in Guyanese life. The Kali-Mai churches they established, for instance, now draw devotees from all Guyanese ethnic groups. At the heart of the narrative are the stories of the entrepreneurial Naga, like pot-salt in everything, his wife Chunoo, resolute in her sense of community and justice, and Hendree, Naga's sidekick, an idler, brilliant drummer and would-be healer. In their lives are played out the polarities which gave Madrasi life its extraordinary dynamism: its spirituality and earthiness, its respect for goodness - and delight in scampishness, its faithfulness to Madrasi culture and openness to the culture of others, particularly the Afro-Guyanese.
