Emigration and Caribbean Literature

The book explores the experiences of Caribbean authors who migrated to the UK and France during and after the World Wars, focusing on figures like Lamming, Césaire, and Glissant. McIntosh analyzes how these writers grappled with the expectation to serve as authentic representatives of their cultures, reflecting the broader concerns of the emigrant intellectual community. Through this examination, the book highlights the complex interplay between identity, migration, and literary expression in the context of historical upheaval.
