He is now professor at Yale University and a visiting professor at Barnard College of Columbia University. Phillips mostra'n més has received many awards and fellowships and was appointed to the post of chief editor of the Faber and Faber Caribbean writers' series. Phillips' writing explores the challenges of dealing with such divisions as race and heritage, and investigates how they were created in the first place. In "Cambridge," he presents his characters confused identities and frequently compares their personal histories and questions the process of how stories become known as history. He draws links between groups, like the Jews during the Holocaust or Victorian women, to make analogies for the West Indian situation. (Bowker Author Biography) Caryl Phillips is the author of seven previous books. He divides his time between New York City and London. (Publisher Provided) mostra'n menys

I love the way Phillips has woven history and fiction to give us such an accessible perspective on the African diaspora.
A bit heart-wrenching, but absolutely beautiful.
