Transcending Silence: The Limitations of the Theme of Betrayal in the Novels of George Lamming.
Nunez-Harrell, Elizabeth
Community Review, v7 n1 p24-33 Fall 1986
This critical study of West Indian novelist George Lamming's work finds a preoccupation in his earlier works with British colonizers' betrayal of the West Indian people and its appearance as a father-son relationship. Lamming's latest work creates a less limited West Indian identity in the context of pre-colonial cultural history. (DMM)
