- Shaped by the AHRC-funded project, ‘American Tropics’, Between the Bocas: A Literary Geography of Western Trinidad is the product of six years sustained archival and secondary research in the UK, Caribbean and US. In its literary geographical focus on ‘Western’ Trinidad, it offers an original literary analysis. This monograph is the first scholarly work to offer an extensive discussion of Yseult Bridges’s 1930s novels, inserting them into a Trinidadian literary landscape that includes well-known authors like V.S. Naipaul and C.L.R. James. It further presents alternatives to the dominant Caribbean paradigm of the plantation in its examination of oil narratives.
