Book excerpt: This volume examines the representation of community in contemporary anglophone Caribbean literature, focusing on the most recent wave of anglophone Caribbean short story writers following the genre's revival in the mid 1980s. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of community, bringing literary representations of community into dialogue with models of community developed in the field of Caribbean anthropology. Looking in turn at rural, urban, national and global communities, the book draws attention to changing conceptions of community around the turn of the millennium.
