The first comprehensive discussion of the major Caribbean thinkers who came to Britain.

Written in an accessible, lively style, with a range of wonderful and distinguished authors.

Key book for thinking about the future of multicultural Britain; study thus far has concentrated on Caribbean literature and how authors 'write back' to Britain - this book is the first to consider how they 'think back' to Britain.

A book of the moment - nothing comparable on the Carribean influence on Britain..

Discusses the influence, amongst others, of C. L. R. James, Una Marson, George Lamming, Jean Rhys, Claude McKay and V.

S. Naipaul.
