It represents an array of convergences across critical perspectives, political and social agendas, generations and national boundaries. The work of numerous calypsonians and other singers are explored, including Sparrow, Kitchener, Chalkdust, Denise Belfon; and writers such as Samuel Selvon, V.S. Naipaul, Jean Rhys, Errol John, Paul Marshall, Earl Lovelace and Lashkmi Persaud. The comparative analyses provide in interdisciplinary approach to Cultural Studies making the volume essential reading for students, scholars and calypso enthusiasts." --
