It offers the general reader a broad selection of the themes, styles, and techniques characteristic of contemporary women's fiction in the Caribbean. There are twenty-seven enjoyable and vibrant tales in this anthology, some of them originally written in English, others in French, Dutch, and Spanish. There are writers from Guadeloupe, Dominica, Jamaica, Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Antigua, Haiti, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Surinam. Along with stories by well-known writers such as Jean Rhys, Jamaica Kincaid, Michelle Cliff, Maryse Conde, and Rosario Ferre, the anthology also includes first-rate stories by lesser-known but equally talented writers. The collection also contains a critical introduction, biographical notes, and a bibliography.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction     \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e      Tetiyette and the Devil \/ Anonymous\u003cbr\u003e      Little Cog-burt \/ Phyllis Shand Allfrey\u003cbr\u003e      Cotton Candy \/ Dora Alonso\u003cbr\u003e      See Me in Me Benz An T'ing: Like the Lady Who Lived on That Isle Remote \/ Hazel D.
