Raphael Dalleo’s Caribbean Literature and the Public Sphere: From the Plantation to the Postcolonial (University of Virginia Press, 2011) will hit the bookshelves next month.
Description: Bringing together the most exciting recent archival work in Anglophone, Francophone, and Hispanophone Caribbean studies, Raphael Dalleo constructs a new literary history of the region that is both comprehensive and innovative. He examines how changes in political, economic, and social structures have produced different sets of possibilities for writers to imagine their relationship to the institutions of the public sphere. In the process, he provides a new context for rereading such major writers as Mary Seacole, José Martí, Jacques Roumain, Claude McKay, Marie Chauvet, and George Lamming, while also drawing lesser-known figures into the story.
Raphael Dalleo, assistant professor of English at Florida Atlantic University, is the author, with Elena Machado Sáez, of The Latino/a Canon and the Emergence of Post-Sixties Literature.
