Description

The Caribbean is a part of the world with diverse cultures and a long and fascinating literary tradition.

The people of this region have endured through civil strife, poverty, natural disasters, and military conflicts; and their literature reflects their despair and dreams.

Accessible to students and general readers, this encyclopedia overviews the lives and works of Caribbean authors. Because Caribbean literature is so much a reflection of regional concerns, the encyclopedia gives special attention to the political, cultural, and historical contexts in which Caribbean authors have lived and worked. To help with this massive endeavor, scholar and librarian Danilo H.

Figueredo has assembled an impressive team of advisors and authors.

Included in the encyclopedia are more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries written by more than 20 expert contributors.

These entries cover authors, works, genres, historical and cultural figures, themes, and various special topics.

Spanish courses often look at literature from the Caribbean, and many American students trace their roots to that region.

An essential reference for high school libraries, this resource will help students and teachers learn more about the literature of the Caribbean and its relation to the political, economic, historical, and social conditions of that area.

Public libraries also need this encyclopedia, since many general readers are interested in Caribbean literature and culture.
