“Like Bush Fire in my Arms”: Interrogating the World of Caribbean Romance
The early 1990s added a new event to the Caribbean literary scene. We have been ushered into "a world of Caribbean Romance" - mass produced fiction in a Caribbean Caresses Series commissioned by multi-national sellers of romances. This development, motivated in part by the promise of a lucrative market, has raised salient issues. These include the interplay between the formulaic narrative and the individual expressions offered by the Caribbean writers; the fictional portrayals of gender constructs and their impact on the negotiation of the heterosexual unions within this diverse social milieu.
