‘A fascinating portrayal … sure to spark further debate’ – MAG, London Museums and Galleries Magazine

'Highly recommended' - Choice


This is the first book – part historical, part thematic – to present and discuss the diverse, fascinating and highly accomplished work of Caribbean artists, whether indigenous or from the diaspora, whether in popular or 'high' culture, rural or urban, politically radical or religious (with associations to Rastafarianism, Vaudou and Santería).

Included are artists of great international reputation like Wifredo Lam, Ana Mendieta, Hervé Télémaque, Sonia Boyce, Jean-Michel Basquiat and over one hundred others.
