NEW CARIBBEAN STUDIES Edited by Kofi Campbell and Shalini Puri New Caribbean Studies is a unique series of monographs and essay collections focused on the still burgeoning field of Caribbean Studies, a field that is contributing to Caribbean self-understanding, global understanding of the region, and the reinvention of various disciplines and their methodologies well beyond the Caribbean. The series especially solicits humanities-informed and interdisciplinary scholarship that addresses any of the region’s language traditions. Kofi Campbell is an associate professor of English at Wilfrid Laurier University and coordinator of the English program at its Brantford Campus. He is the author of Literature and Culture in the Black Atlantic: From Pre- to Postcolonial. Shalini Puri is an associate professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh. Her book The Caribbean Postcolonial: Social Equality, Post-nationalism, and Cultural Hybridity was the winner of the 2005 Gordon and Sybil Lewis award for the best book on the Caribbean.
