The Caribbean islands are a very rich literary region. Our writers receive many awards for their books in their native island, in the other Caribbean islands and other continents.
In addition, the Caribbean islands have three prestigious Nobel Prizes in Literature : Guadeloupean Saint-John Perse in 1960, St Lucian Derek Walcott in 1992 and Trinidadian Vidiadhar Surajprasad (V.S.) Naipaul in 2001.
KARICULTURE.NET present you a selection of more than 70 authors and some works that illustrate this intellectual profusion in order to help you to create your own Caribbean library and to read books which will allow you to discover history, culture and heritage of our region.
