Notes:
164 p., Explores many aspects of Caribbean religion and spirituality, especially the complexities of carnival and its uniquely African soul. He notes too a theological dependency, and posits again a unique, Caribbean emancipatory theology to establish a theological "self-reliance." In emancipatory theology, as in Latin American liberation theology, the source for praxis and reflection is faith linked to historical experience. In the Caribbean experience, of continual struggle for identity, distinguishes and yet unites Caribbean Christians with Christians everywhere.

Notes:
271 p., Investigates the impact of American literature and culture upon the Anglophone Caribbean during and following the Second World War. Traditional inquiries involving this era usually render the Caribbean in colonial and/or post-colonial contexts; this dissertation instead looks to understand alternative variables, especially the widespread affiliations with U.S. culture made by emergent Caribbean writers from the so-called “Windrush Generation” that were exposed to American soldiers serving overseas. Contents: C.L.R. James -- V.S. Naipaul -- Sylvia Wynter -- George Lamming.
While 20th-century Caribbean literature in French has generated a substantial body of criticism, earlier writings have largely been neglected. This article begins by contextualizing the Creole novel of the 1830s in cultural and historical terms, then proceeds to analyse two novels published by Martinican authors in 1835: Outre-mer by Louis de Maynard de Queilhe and Les Creoles by Jules Levilloux.
