This text offers a contribution to the large body of work that is dedicated to unraveling the significant ideas of the Caribbean thinker, Wilson Harris.

This text offers a contribution to the large body of work that is dedicated to unraveling the significant ideas of the Caribbean thinker, Wilson Harris. This study applies his notion of a cross-cultural imagination to a comparative discussion of the literary treatment of the trauma of New World colonialism and slavery in Derek Walcott s Omeros and Toni Morrison s Beloved. Concerned with the themes and tropes of loss and re-memberment , these narratives highlight Harris s focus on the flexible arcs and patterns of community that are possible within a cross-cultural awareness of human society s involvement with legacies of conquest . This reading uses the work of a Caribbean critical lens, with its acknowledgment of the heterogeneity of the Americas, to emphasize a redemptive poetics for the re-visioning of the postcolonial condition. The dialogue across Harris s, Morrison s and Walcott s work presents an alternative critical praxis for those interested in the development of Caribbean literary theory and of Caribbean and African- American literature in diaspora.
