The Caribbean Artists Movement 1966-1972: a literary & cultural history

The first history of this major cultural movement of Caribbean writers and artists founded in 1966 by Kamau Brathwaite, Andrew Salkey and John La Rose. It flourished in Britain in the late 1960s, and influenced some of the intellectual and artistic development, which occurred afterwards, both in the UK and in the Caribbean. Based on interviews with all the leading participants, and on tapes and transcripts of the meetings and conferences that took place, this book makes an important contribution to the history of contemporary culture.
