SCORCHED RICE

Manifestos on Caribbean Diaspora Liberation

Fifty years after the failed experiment of the West Indies Federation, what does liberation mean for this generation of Caribbean people in America? Trinidadian-American author Hassan Ghanny tackles this task in the essay collection SCORCHED RICE from a postcolonial, queer, and Antillean/pan-Caribbean solidarity perspective. Engaging with the works of cultural theorists, contemporary musicians, and subaltern influencers, SCORCHED RICE presents a narrative-driven look into the problems, crises, ruptures, and connections felt by first and second generation diasporans.

SCORCHED RICE contains essays previously published online and in print alongside never-before-published content.
