Creolized Sexualities

Undoing Heteronormativity in the Literary Imagination of the Anglo-Caribbean

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By showing how a wide, and surprising, range of Caribbean writers have contributed to the crafting of a supple and inclusive erotic repertoire across the second half of the twentieth century, the readings in this book aim to demonstrate that a recognition of creolized and pluralized sexualities already exists within the literary imagination.
