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.
