Examining these historical migrations through the lens of postwar Caribbean fiction and poetry, Sarah Phillips Casteel presents the first major study of representations of Jewishness in Caribbean literature. Bridging the gap between postcolonial and Jewish studies, Calypso Jews enriches cross-cultural investigations of Caribbean creolization. Caribbean writers invoke both the 1492 expulsion and the Holocaust as part of their literary archaeology of slavery and its legacies. Despite the unequal and sometimes fraught relations between Blacks and Jews in the Caribbean before and after emancipation, Black-Jewish literary encounters reflect sympathy and identification more than antagonism and competition. Providing an alternative to U.S.-based critical narratives of Black-Jewish relations, Casteel reads Derek Walcott, Maryse Condé, Michelle Cliff, Jamaica Kincaid, Caryl Phillips, David Dabydeen, and Paul Gilroy, among others, to reveal a distinctive interdiasporic literature. --cover. 530 Electronic version(s) available online. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Caribbean literature (English) |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Caribbean literature (French) |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Jews in literature. 650 0 Jews |zCaribbean Area |xIdentity. 650 7 HISTORY |xJewish. |2bisacsh 650 7 Caribbean literature (English) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00847477 650 7 Caribbean literature (French) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00847484 650 7 Jews |xIdentity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 Jews in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983388 651 7 Caribbean Area. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01244080 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 650 7 Literatur. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4035964-5 650 7 Amerikanisches Englisch. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4094804-3 650 7 Juden |2gnd |gMotiv. |0(DE-588)4123469-8 651 7 Karibik. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4073241-1 830 0 Literature now. 856 41 |3Electronic version(s) available. |zHosted by ProQuest |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=4103753 880 0 |6505-00Sephardism in Caribbean literature: Derek Walcott's Pissarro -- Marranism and Creolization: Myriam Chancy and Michelle Cliff -- Port Jews in slavery fiction: Maryse Cond⥠and David Dabydeen -- Plantation Jews in slavery fiction: Cynthia McLeod's Jodensavanne -- Calypso Jews: John Hearne and Jamaica Kincaid -- Between camps: M.
