This module brings together writers from the Caribbean and India. The first half of the module on Caribbean literature analyses issues of culture, race and hybridity. It examines the construction of identities in the Caribbean context and focuses on the dynamic of place and space and cultural transformation. The second half of the module explores the richness and diversity of the new writings in English from India. Through the study of texts both by male and female writers it foregrounds the tensions in the cultural world of India where East and West interact and collide.
