LI 424 - Imagining the CaribbeanCredits: 4
When you think of the Caribbean, you may imagine: beaches, dancing, and leisure; pirates, curses, and hidden treasure; anti-slavery revolts and marooned communities; and labor movements and revolutions. It all depends on whose Caribbean you imagine. Making the Caribbean visible from local-as opposed to foreign-perspectives has been a pervasive concern of writers and artists from the anglophone, francophone, and hispanophone Caribbean in the last century. In this course, students examine the literary strategies used by writers to imagine the Caribbean and the literary, cultural, and political products of these strategies.
