Anancy in the Great House
This interdisciplinary study combines concepts of symbolic anthropology with traditional literary criticism to survey six novels by the Caribbean authors George Lamming and Wilson Harris. The author uses the West Indian icons of the Great House and Anancy to explore the conflict between oral and written communication and between folk culture and imperialist domination. The book's three essays discuss the collision of folk and imperialist cultures, the figure of the artist-in-the-text, and the anthropological concept of liminality as it applies to all types of oppressive exploitation. With its subtle literary readings and its philosophical commentary, this volume will be a significant resource.

A Pepper-pot of Cultures
The terms 'creole' and 'creolization' have witnessed a number of significant semantic changes in the course of their history. Originating in the vocabulary associated with colonial expansion in the Americas it had been successively narrowed down to the field of black American culture or of particular linguistic phenomena. Recently 'creole' has expanded again to cover the broad area of cultural contact and transformation characterizing the processes of globalization initiated by the colonial migrations of past centuries. The present volume is intended to illustrate these various stages either by historical and/or theoretical discussion of the concept or through selected case studies. The auth...

Conversations
In most Caribbean societies, speaking about menarche (the onset of menstruation), the menstrual phase (the fertile years), and menopause (the post-fertile years) is seen as a taboo.

In this book, conversations: pieces of the truth, Dr Janice Imhoff has challenged these notions, and in her writings she has laid bare what you need to know about these topics. Her style of call and response must be commended. Her book, as she describes it, is for anyone with a curious mind, and would therefore be of interest to both female and male re...
