Synopsis:This volume starts from a textual analysis of Caryl Phillips's fiction and examines how it charts a new diasporic sensibility, grounded in the novelist's Caribbeanness but also expressive of a redefined sense of Britishness. Focusing on Phillips's pervasive interest in displacement, the book also addresses characterization and the non-conventional form of his narratives, two major aspects of his art which are discussed here in the context of current debates on post-colonialism. The monograph does not contain a special section on his screenplays.
