This book's main hypothesis is that Caribbean modernism was deeply entangled in processes of social and political transformation. In exploring and articulating an expanded approach to Caribbean modernism, we do not merely approach it as a universalizing spectrum of formal and stylistic options, but as aesthetically framed propositions to critically engage and reshape the modern world. The contributors assembled in this book take the discussion of Caribbean modernism beyond national, medium-based and linguistic traditions, seeing it not only as an aesthetic strategy, but as an expression of commitment to local and global development and progress. Critical Perspectives on Caribbean Modernisms seeks to both expand the frameworks applied to Caribbean (and global) modernisms and make an important contribution to an under-researched area of Caribbean studies.
