Beschreibung
This study presents the complex phenomenon of Afro-Caribbean poetry in English, ranging from Jamaican classic dub poetry of the 1970s to (Black) British post-dub verse of the 2000s. To do so, the monograph has endeavoured to showcase the literary continuum, as represented by Jamaican, Jamaican-British, and ultimately (Black) British writers.
