How to use the site | Caribbean books and writers Peepal Tree Press is the home of challenging and inspiring literature from the Caribbean and Black Britain. Its books express the popular resources of transplanted and transforming cultures. In the nineteenth century over two million Indians were lured away to work as indentured labourers on the sugar estates of the Caribbean, Mauritius, Fiji and other parts of the Empire. They brought the peepal tree with them and planted it in these new environments, a sign of their commitment to their cultural roots.
