An Exploration of Cultural Healing in Derek Walcott's Omeros, a Hallmark of Modern Polyglossic Epic. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494976989)

Emerging from over three hundred years of occidental oppression, the Caribbean people find themselves custodians of a culture inseparably cemented to an imperial history. Despite this oppression, or perhaps because of it, a uniquely West Indian consciousness has emerged, during the last decades of 20th century, which draws Walcott's poetic attention. With a view to recovering the wounds of Caribbean culture, he attempts to delineate this West Indian spirit in his most ambitious work Omeros. ................................................................... The book is Rahman Mostafiz's scholarly article on Derek Walcott's visionary project Omeros. Here Mostafiz has organized this book into two major issues focusing on the process of redefining the epic, and the process of cultural healing in Omeros.
