Descriptions of food and eating in Anglophone Caribbean writing have so much to say about belonging and unbelonging, about identity, ethnicity, class, gender, migrancy, exile, food as a token and signifier of communicative exchange, food as a passageway to sensuality and sex, eating as an external sign of inner feelings, food as sacrament.
Completely up-to-the-minute treatments of the contemporary Caribbean with its many contradictions. These are not the versions of the Caribbean you'll read about in holiday tourist brochures!
