It brings previously unknown or inaccessible texts to greater attention and draws more familiar texts into a new range of contexts. The Reader offers new critical configurations, new connections, new ways of reading and new notions of Caribbean literary praxis.  \nBoth the renowned and the less well known are given a voice in this remarkable anthology which encompasses poetry, short stories, essays, articles and interviews. Amongst the many represented are the writers: C.L.R.James; George Lamming; Jean Rhys; Benjamin Zephaniah; Claude McKay; Jamaica Kincaid; Sylvia Wynter; Derek Walcott; David Dabydeen; and Grace Nichols.  \nThe editors probe some of the sore points of the Caribbean literary tradition, areas which previous publications have disavowed for varying reasons, particularly Creole writing, writing in Creole writing which works with (rather than against) colonial and eurocentric forms and early, especially early women’s, Caribbean literature.  \nThe Routledge Reader in Caribbean Literature provides an accessible historical and cultural framework to the texts through a series of introductions making the anthology an ideal teaching tool as well as a fascinating collection for anyone interested in the wealth of Caribbean literary traditions.  \nDr Alison Donnell lectures in post-colonial literatures at Nottingham Trent University, England.
