ABSTRACT
The demands on Caribbean literary criticism have clearly changed over the decades and it has been a central project of this book both to map and to theorise those changes, as well as to offer alternatives to the pathways cut through these writings by the dominant political-critical coordinates of the past. However, this chapter, more than others, ventures off the map of established Caribbean literary histories to suggest a new and urgent demand that critics should address in their theorisations of difference, as well as an exciting body of writing that is just beginning to be documented and analysed. It focuses on a recent and important development in Anglocreole Caribbean literature – namely the articulation and inscription of diverse sexual identities within a body of creative writing.
