{"product_id":"border-crossings-nicole-roberts-9789766402518","title":"Border Crossings: A Trilingual Anthology of Caribbean Women Writers","description":"Literature has no geographical border and can so easily relocate and migrate into our literary imagination. The only real difficulty facing such crossings is the ever-present language barriers that have for too long limited the ways in which the Caribbean is read, perceived and interpreted. What is distinctive about \u003ci\u003eBorder Crossings: A Trilingual Anthology of Caribbean Women Writers\u003c\/i\u003e is its trilingual nature; all of the stories appear in English, French and Spanish. To date, no anthology of short stories from the Caribbean region has accomplished this.The anthology includes stories from Guadeloupe (Gis le Pineau), Trinidad ( Shani Mootoo), Haiti (Yanick Lahens), Jamaica (Oliver Senior), Puerto Rico (Carmen Lugo Filippi ) and Cuba (Mirta Y  ez). Many stories in the collection do not offer the reader a comforting end. Instead, they suggest the possibilities and the complexities of depicting a Caribbean, not singular but plural, not closed but open-ended and decidedly one without borders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9766402515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789766402518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of the West Indies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2012","brand":"Nicole Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983541666047,"sku":"9789766402518","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8990605-9084-4229-be48-747c44aae50c.jpg?v=1683267266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/border-crossings-nicole-roberts-9789766402518","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
