"The Caribbean Novel since 1945 is a major contribution to commentary on Caribbean literary practices since the end of World War II. Spanning a period that covers the anticolonial struggles in the Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean, decolonization and the reconfigurations of the new nation-states and avoiding an approach that simply sees literature as a tool for revisionist historiography, Niblett places his main emphasis on the relationship between national transformations and literary form. He demonstrates how new modalities of thought have emerged from the social reorganizations that have taken place in the Caribbean and offers analyses of the work of writers such as Edouard Glissant, Earl Lovelace, Patrick Chamoiseau, Wilson Harris, and Erna Brodber that breaks new ground. This is an important book for students and readers interested in ways in which Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean writing has evolved across the decades and absolutely essential to anyone considering the commonalities and differences to be found in the writing of the two linguistic groupings."
--John Thieme, professor of literature, drama and creative writing, University of East Anglia
"Michael Niblett's book provides a panoramic analysis of fiction from across the Caribbean, tracking significant trends in the literature and exploring the mutation of key tropes in changing political and historical contexts. In its examination of the impact of cultural practices such as Vodou on the very form of the novel, it opens up original perspectives on how Caribbean writers represent the complex histories of the region's societies. The choice of authors and texts is wide-ranging and comprehensive, providing welcome new interpretations of established figures as well as consideration of understudied writers and traditions. Ultimately, it offers a set of compelling arguments that encourage us to rethink the trajectories of the Caribbean novel since 1945."
--David Dabydeen, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Embassy of Guyana
