Reviews

"A handsome bilingual volume that represents an admirable project: to bridge the gap between readers of francophone and Anglophone Caribbean writing by including essays on both literatures […] This is an important collection, notable for its distinctive readings of particular texts, but also for its breadth and ambition in taking on the geographical, linguistic and formal diversity of Caribbean writing in the light of Chamoiseau’s ideas" – Chris Ringrose, Monash University
