Ever present in the work of contemporary Barbadian novelist George Lamming, author of
In the Castle of My Skin, Natives of My Person, The Emigrants, and
The Pleasures of Exile, are the subjects of history and revolution. In
Caliban's Curse, Supriya M. Nair traces these themes and situates Lamming's work within the ongoing discourses of nationalism and identity. Retracing the history of colonial intervention in the anglophone Caribbean and seeking connections among Africa, the Caribbean, and England,
Caliban's Curse moves beyond the popular perception of the archipelago as an ahistorical tourist paradise and presents the islands as a space populated by the tragic and triumphant cultures of the black diaspora.
