InfiniteIsland: Contemporary Caribbean Art presents forty-five artists of Caribbean descent and accompanies a major exhibition of their work. Historically, the islands of the Caribbean have experienced the trauma of slavery and colonialism and have witnessed an ongoing series of migrations and resettlements by many different groups--European, African, Asian. This book explores the continual process of encounter and creative response as Caribbean peoples transform their mix of cultures to meet changing contemporary conditions. It addresses broad questions about identity, myth-making, and local traditions, and the way that artists responded to these issues, to demonstrate the diversity of viewpoints and shared concerns that characterize contemporary Caribbean art. With over 200 artworks by both emerging and established artists in a wide variety of mediums - from painting, sculpture and installation, to photography, digital media and video - this highly illustrated, full-colour volume provides a comprehensive overview of Caribbean art today and includes commentaries on the development and nature of individual artists' work.

Stuart Hall (Caribbean Biography Series)

A pioneer in the field of cultural studies, Stuart Hall produced an impressive body of work on the relationship between culture and power. His contributions to critical theory and the study of politics, culture, communication, media, race, diaspora and postcolonialism made him one of the great public intellectuals of the late twentieth century. For much of his career, Hall was better known outside the Caribbean than in the region. He made his mark most notably in the United Kingdom as head of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies and at the Open University, where his popular lecture series was broadcast on BBC2. His influence expanded from the late 1980s onwards as the field of cultural studies gained traction in universities worldwide. Hall's middle-class upbringing in colonial Jamaica and his subsequent experience of immigrant life in the United Kingdom afforded him a unique perspective that informed his groundbreaking work on the complex power dynamics of race, class and empire. This accessible, lively biography provides glimpses into Hall's formative Jamaican years and includes segments from his hitherto unpublished early writing. Annie Paul gives us an engaging introduction to a globally renowned Caribbean intellectual.
