Sinopse
Características

The complex scenario of the Caribbean culture,language and literature by way of its heterogeneity makes Caribbean a unique case for analysis.It becomes a ground for subversion of the distinction between colonialism, postcolonialism and neo-colonialism.It brings into question the validity of master discourses and canonical texts that have failed to cater to the historical mutability of the region. The book aims to demonstrate the literary and cultural contributions of recent Caribbean writings by establishing its relationship to diasporic identities.The study aims to establish how the poems written by Derek Walcott contribute to the literary and theoretical construction of hybridity and multiculturism.The approach adapted to Walcotts work is thematic as well as linguistic;attempting to explore his poetic strategies such as the use of myth, metaphor, puns and other devices.The work tries to examine the characteristic ways in which he uses such devices in order to derive a unique aesthetics.
