Description

Shakespeare's Tempest has long been claimed by colonials and postcolonial thinkers alike as the dramatic work that most enables them to confront their entangled history. Tempest in the Caribbean reads some of the "classic" anticolonial texts -- by Aime Cesaire and Roberto Fernandez Retamar, for instance -- through the lens of feminist and queer analysis. Extending the Tempest plot, Jonathan Goldberg considers recent works by Caribbean authors and social theorists, among them Sylvia Wynter, Michelle Cliff, Patricia Powell, and Jamaica Kincaid. These rewritings, he suggests, present alternatives to the masculinist and heterosexual bias of the legacy that has been derived from The Tempest, and his work points to new possibilities that might be articulated through the nexus of race and sexuality.
