N2  - "Caribbean Transactions analyzes how Caribbean literature traces the struggle for cultural identity of the slaves' descendants, and indeed of all those whose ancestors, for whatever reason, were transplanted into an alien and often hostile culture at the bottom of the social strata." "The book charts the movement away from a sense of unbelonging to the forging of an autonomous indigenous culture. It reveals how the writers of Caribbean literature, through the stories they invent, help sustain the collective process by which the people build this distinctively Caribbean culture."--Jacket
