Imprinted: A Social History of Caribbean Reading (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739130336)

Imprinted is a history of literacy and the development of a literary culture in the Caribbean from the late 19th century to contemporary times. It explores the places and spaces of such a cultural journey, during and after the colonial period. Entwined within this critique is the story of the author's own reading history, from a child reader devouring the books (Black Power heroes and romance fiction) in her family home in Dominica to the concerns of a literary scholar of a digital age. A remarkable investigation full of personal reflection and awareness of the social, political and economic dynamics that shape Caribbean reading experiences.
