_Teaching, Reading, and Theorizing Caribbean Texts_ explores
alternative approaches to Caribbean texts from transnational and
multilingual perspectives. The authors query what new systems and
criteria can be implemented to rethink and remodel our theoretical and
pedagogical corpus and alter the lenses through which we study
Caribbean texts. Pulling from the Caribbean’s global diaspora, the
authors examine writers such as Roxane Gay, Esmeralda Santiago, Wilson
Harris, and Gloria Anzaldúa in order to resituate the place of
Caribbean texts in the classroom.
Each chapter argues for a reunification of Caribbean literature
studies—rather than studying this body of text only in terms of a
certain aspect of its history or culture, the authors necessitate the
importance of analyzing these works from a pan-Caribbean perspective.
This collection discusses the ideas of transcending individual
disciplines and specialties to create global theories, overcoming
pedagogical challenges when bringing Caribbean texts into the
classroom, and (re)reading texts with the purpose of discovering new
symbols, themes, and meanings.
