Caribbean literature has always been exciting and diverse, including over the past decades some of the world's most highly regarded writers. This new anthology, Beyond Sangre Grande, brings together a contemporary selection in English from some of the key writers now living in Canada, the US, and the UK, as well as various countries of the Caribbean. Reflecting a changing world, and admitting diverse cultural influences and generational differences, these writers maintain a distinct Caribbean-ness in their acute historical awareness and in the cadences and rhythms of their language. This collection represents a range of voices, from the established and celebrated--Derek Walcott, Sam Selvon, Austin Clarke, Olive Senior--to the newer and no less exciting--Ramabai Espinet, Nalo Hopkinson, Anson Gonzalez--that demonstrates the richness of Caribbean literature in new and exciting ways.
