| Summary |
This book uses the scene of the throwing of a stone found in five Caribbean novels as a starting point to an examination of the turmoil of history in the Caribbean, the colonial education imposed on native populations, the gendered relations that exist today in the region, and the psychological impact of colonization on Caribbean minds. |
