My Strangled City - Gordon Rohlehr

Gordon Rohlehrs Critical Work Is Outstanding In The Balance It Achieves Between Its Particularity And Its Breadth From The Detailed Unpacking Of A Poems Inner Workings, To Locating Caribbean Writing In The Sweep Of Political And Cultural History And The Equal Respect He Pays To Literary And To Popular Cultural Forms. His Articulating A Caribbean Aesthetic Remains A Stunningly Pertinent And Concise Account Of The Historical Formation Of The Cultural Shifts That Framed Caribbean Writing As A Distinctive Body Of Work. Indeed, Along With Kamau Brathwaite, Sylvia Wynter And Kenneth Ramchand, No Critic Has Done More To Establish The Subject Of Caribbean Writing And Its Distinctive Aesthetics.
