- Title
CHAPTER 10: A Caribbean Voice: The Radio's Legacy in Caryl Phillips's Work.
- Authors
Mardorossian, Carine
- Abstract
Most critics who have worked to restore the significance of Phillips's radio documentaries and marginalised literary productions have done so by relating them to his more widely read and celebrated novels, an approach that makes sense since the scripts of these 'minor genres' are usually not readily available. Such comparative approaches are important to literary criticism because they illustrate, as Bénédicte Ledent suggests, "the continuity but also the evolution in Phillips's preoccupations." In this chapter, I extend these readings by looking outward, in order to register the significance of Phillips's radio drama and documentaries to the broader context of Caribbean studies as well as his own relationship to the field's imbrication with mass media communications.
