This book is the first to analyse how BBC radio presented Anglophone Caribbean literature and
in turn aided and influenced the shape of imaginative writing in the region. Glyne A. Griffith
examines Caribbean Voices broadcasts to the region over a fifteen-year period and reveals that
though the program's funding was colonial in orientation the content and form were
antithetical to the very colonial enterprise that had brought the program into existence. Part
literary history and part literary biography this study fills a gap in the narrative of the
region's literary history.
