Caribbean Literature: Universities
built 667 days ago
Though “outsiders” have always worked in the field, Caribbean literature has become increasingly established in the academy. Universities in and out of the Caribbean now offer Caribbean literary studies as part of post-colonial literatures and in some cases, as an individual area of study available to Caribbean and non-Caribbean students. Caribbean literature’s exposure to the intellectual trends of the academy has influenced its readings, as the critical trends of the 1990s indicate. Likewise, the academy’s exposure to Caribbean literature is producing more varied analysis from more varied perspectives. Donnell’s accomplishment is representative of Caribbean literature’s expansion and thereby, the fact that more outside perspectives will be contributing to the discussion. The quality of her research, the clarity of her analysis and the bold objectivity of her arguments models a most responsible and thorough approach for anyone working through the highly politicized debates of Caribbean literature.
The Caribbean Literary Studies Group started in 1999 with the goal of creating imaginative and productive spaces to hold discussions about Caribbean Literature, Culture and the Arts. The group is made up of graduate students (M.F.A., M.A., and Ph.D.), alumni, faculty and other interested parties from the University of Miami community and the Greater Miami area who have a serious interest in topics related to Caribbean culture.
