Reviews

Jeanne Jégousso and Emily O'Dell question the dismemberment of Caribbean studies over the recent decades and call for a Pan-Caribbean perspective that moves beyond the traditional linguistic and national divide in the Caribbean. A beautifully written book, proposing exciting new pedagogical and theoretical approaches to explore Caribbean texts. Teaching, Reading, and Theorizing Caribbean Texts by Jeanne Jégousso and Emily O'Dell is a necessary companion to the consideration of Caribbean literature from transnational and translocal perspectives. The volume's essays emphasize the polylingual and complex cultural contexts involved in the creation of Caribbean literature, and therefore, the necessary attenuation of these factors for its analysis. I recommend this book for anyone seeking innovative pedagogies in Caribbean Studies.
