Caribbean Writers & Their Art: History, the Caribbean and the Imagination (1991)

Kamau Brathwaite in conversation with Edward Baugh as a part of the Caribbean Writers Summer Institute at the University of Miami.

Speaking on comparative literature in the Caribbean, Brathwaite says, "It is necessary that we do this because the Caribbean although artificially divided into English-speaking, French-speaking, Dutch-speaking, Spanish-speaking, is really part of a whole underground continent of thought and feeling and history."

Commenting on the fragmentation of the region he remarks, "In the days of the Caribs, you could take a canoe and travel easily from St. Lucia to Martinique. Now with the arrival of Europe, despite Europe's technology, it is almost impossible to move from St. Lucia to Martinique, and let me explain that they are within hailing distance from each other."
