Synopsis
In this updated collection of interviews with 22 of the most important writers of the English-speaking Caribbean, matters of relevant biography, social and political context, the writer’s attitudes toward language, and his or her agenda as a Caribbean person are explored.

James, Ismith Khan, George Lamming, Earl Lovelace, Tony McNeil, Pam Mordecai, Velma Pollard, Mervyn Morris, Orlando Patterson, Vic Reid, Dennis Scott, Sam Selvon, Michael Thelwell, Derek Walcott, and Sylvia Wynter.
