The present book offers a reader-theoretical model for approaching anglophone Caribbean women's writing through affects, emotions, and feelings related to sexuality, a prominent theme in the literary tradition. How does an affective framework help us read this tradition of writing that is so preoccupied with sexual feelings? The novelists discussed in the book - chiefly Erna Brodber, Opal Palmer Adisa, Edwidge Danticat, Shani Mootoo, and Oonya Kempadoo - are representative of various anglophone Caribbean island cultures and English-speaking backgrounds. The study makes astute use of the theoretical writings of such scholars as Sara Ahmed, Milton J. Bennett, Sue Campbell, Linden Lewis, Evelyn O'Callaghan, Lizabeth Paravisini - Gebert, Lynne Pearce, Elspeth Probyn, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Rei Terada, as well as the critical writings of Adisa, Brodber, Kempadoo, to shape an individual, focused argument. The works of the creative artists treated, and this volume, hold sexuality and emotions to be vital for meaning-production and knowledge-negotiation across differences (be they culturally, geographically or otherwise marked) that challenge the postcolonial reading process.
