Summary:

This book, rooted in Derek Walcott's theatrical works, explores the themes of cultural nationalism and postcolonial identity. It examines Walcott's 'mulatto aesthetics' as a challenge to colonial and Afrocentric cultural discourses. The author, Nirjhar Sarkar, delves into Walcott's plays to highlight the interplay of local cultures with identity, agency, and selfhood, showcasing Walcott's ability to translate Caribbean ethos into literature. This scholarly work is a continuation of Sarkar's dissertation, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of Walcott's impact on postcolonial theatre, focusing on how his works serve as a medium of cultural resistance and innovation. Intended for scholars and students of literary studies, particularly those interested in postcolonial and Caribbean literature, the book offers valuable insights into the cultural dialogues within Walcott's plays.
