Items related to The Other America: Caribbean Literature in a New World...
A wide-ranging work that explores two centuries of Caribbean literature from a comparative perspective. While haunted by the need to establish cultural difference and authenticity, Caribbean thought is inherently modernist in its recognition of the interplay between cultures, brought about by centuries of contact, domination, and consent.

About the Author:
Review:
J. Michael Dash is Professor of Francophone Literature and Chairman of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of the West Indies. He has authored five previous books and translated Edouard Glissant's Caribbean Discourse: Selected Essays.
In this thoroughly researched new book, J. Michael Dash examines the question of self-definition in the Caribbean. Beginning in nineteenth-century Haiti and ending in today's Martinique, Dash analyzes he achievements and shortcomings of some of the most important literary efforts in their attempts to come to terms with the region's characteristics- plantation origins, unfinished modernity, sociocultural heterogeneity, liminality, and archipelagic instability.
