Engaging with a historically overlooked period in the Anglophone Caribbean, the book explores the dynamics between British imperialism and emerging nationalism from the Morant Bay Rebellion to World War I. It challenges the notion of this era as uneventful by analyzing diverse cultural texts, revealing the complexities of identity, power, and resistance. The author delves into themes of temporality, diaspora, and the politics of desire, highlighting how colonial subjects navigated their realities amidst the quiet violence of colonial rule, shaping the Caribbean's contemporary identity.
