About the book

Kamau Braithwaite is one of the major voices in the Caribbean literary canon. His writing covers a whole range of creative expression, including his distinctive and well-known sycorax video style'. Melanie Otto's study reads the utopian aspect of Braithwaite's major video style works in conjunction with the concepts of 'Heimat' ('homeland') and 'concrete utopia' developed by the philosopher Ernst Bloch, arguing that unlike mainstream Latin American magical realism, Braithwaite's work develops a very distinct, Creole aesthetic.'
