New books from Peepal Tree





Short Story feature
Caribbean books and writers

Peepal Tree Press is home of the best in Caribbean and Black British fiction, poetry, literary criticism, memoirs and historical studies.

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.
Our books express the popular resources of transplanted and transforming cultures.
