Riassunto

Examines exiled Caribbean authors - Edwidge Danticat, Jamaica Kincaid, V. S. Naipaul, Maryse Conde, Dany Laferriere, and more - whose works have been well received in their adopted North American countries but who are often viewed by their home islands as sell-outs, opportunists, or traitors.
