Reviews
In the introduction to Methods in Caribbean Research the editors ask What sets the Caribbean apart and justifies an application of scholarly method to its own needs What defines the world of Caribbean letters Why not merely apply established approaches to scholarship that work satisfactorily in Western metropoles The chapters in this collection address these pressing questions and make a unique contribution to the available guides for Caribbean scholars and students of Caribbean studies both inside and outside the region The authors consider the distinctive needs of research in Caribbean literature language and culture and focus on honing research methods relevant to Caribbean material and with the insights of the Caribbean experience The essays in the first part Research Methodology examine conceptual frames data collection and application and analysis of research The second part details the research process from proposal to proofreading Throughout the authors emphasize a Caribbean approach that is engaged with and aware of a range of existing theories but does not uncritically adopt external frameworks that are inadequate for a rounded Caribbean critical practice Book jacket
