Sands-O'Connor examines the varying depictions of West Indian islands and peoples in a wide range of picture books, novels, poetry, textbooks, and popular periodicals - highlighting the interface between British author/citizens and West Indian subjects over the course of more than 300 years." "An excellent resource for any children's literature student or scholar, the book includes a chronological bibliography of primary source material that includes West Indian characters and illustrations that chart the changes in visual representations of West Indians over time.

This is the first critical collection devoted to the British-Caribbean author Caryl Phillips, a major voice in contemporary anglophone literatures. Phillips's impressive body of fiction, drama, and non-fiction has garnered wide praise for its formal inventiveness and its incisive social criticism as well as its unusually sensitive understanding of the human condition. The twenty-six contributions offered here, including two by Phillips himself, address the fundamental issues that have preoccupied the writer in his now three-decades-long career - the enduring legacy of history, the intricate workings of identity, and the pervasive role of race, class, and gender in societies worldwide. Most of Phillips's writing is covered here, in essays that approach it from various thematic and interpretative angles. These include the interplay of fact and fiction, Phillips's sometimes ambiguous literary affiliations, his long-standing interest in the black and Jewish diasporas, and his exploration of Britain and its 'Others', and his use of motifs such as masking and concealment.

Mediating the Windrush Generation analyses three plays by St. Kitts-born British playwright Caryl Phillips and a film by Trinidadian-British filmmaker Horace Ové as artistic depictions of the experience of the Windrush generation, a term which refers to the Anglo-Caribbean immigrants recruited to help rebuild Britain in the aftermath of World War II. The book understands these works as vibrant calls to resist visuality as an authoritative medium, and as tools of resilience. The book's discussion is timely, given the London revival of Phillips' Strange Fruit at the Bush Theatre and the mounting of an exhibition celebrating the works of Ové at the Somerset House, both in the summer of 2019. Both events reflect on the 2018 Windrush scandal that saw members of the Windrush generation denied their rights as British citizens. Mediating the Windrush Generation should appeal to students engaged in drama studies, film studies and English and postcolonial literature, as well as members of the general public interested in artistic works focusing on the Windrush generation.
