This book presents the phenomenon of Afro-Caribbean poetry in English from Jamaican classic dub poetry of the 1970s to (Black) British post-dub verse of the 2000s. It showcases the literary continuum, as represented by Jamaican, Jamaican-British, and ultimately (Black) British writers - Mutabaruka, Michael Smith, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Jean Binta Breeze, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Patience Agbabi, respectively. The work of these authors represents a gradual shift from the emphasis on ethics to the preponderance of aesthetics that include social concerns typical of classic dub poetry. This study presents the complex phenomenon of Afro-Caribbean poetry in English, ranging from Jamaican classic dub poetry of the 1970s to (Black) British post-dub verse of the 2000s. To do so, the monograph has endeavoured to showcase the literary continuum, as represented by Jamaican, Jamaican-British, and ultimately (Black) British writers.
