anglophone Caribbean as represented and critically debated in literary texts,
music and film.
This volume is groundbreaking in its focus on the creative arts and artists in
their evaluations of, and insights on, the relevance of the Black Power message
across the region. The author takes a cultural studies approach to bring together
the political with the aesthetic, enriching an already fertile debate on the era and
the subject of Black Power in the Caribbean region. The chapters discuss various
aspects of Black Power in the Caribbean: on the pages of journals and magazines,
at contemporary conferences that radicalized academia to join forces with communities,
in fiction and essays by writers and intellectuals, in calypso and reggae
music, and in the first films produced in the Caribbean.
Produced at the 50th anniversary of the 1970 Black Power Revolution in Port
of Spain, Trinidad, this timely book will be of interest to students and academics
focusing on Black Power, Caribbean literary and cultural studies, African diaspora,
and Global South radical political and cultural theory.
