The first comprehensive discussion of the major Caribbean thinkers who came to Britain. Written in an accessible, lively style, with a range of wonderful and distinguished authors. Key book for thinking about the future of multicultural Britain; study thus far has concentrated on Caribbean literature and how authors ’write back’ to Britain - this book is the first to consider how they ’think back’ to Britain. A book of the moment - nothing comparable on the Carribean influence on Britain. Discusses the influence, amongst others, of C. L. R. James, Una Marson, George Lamming, Jean Rhys, Claude McKay and V. S. Naipaul.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.
