Summary:

"This fascinating exhibition book traces the connection between Britain and the Caribbean in the visual arts from the 1950s to today, a social and cultural history more often told through literature or popular music. It celebrates how people from the Caribbean have forged new communities and identities in post-war Britain - and in doing so have transformed British culture and society. ... Arranged chronologically, it sheds light on a number of themes such as Caribbean modernism, social and political struggles, subculture and its policing, the front room as a private and public space, after-images of slavery and the Middle Passage, and syncretic and creolised metaphor and allegory (carnival, folklore, new world religions). Readers will find themselves charting a course between two worlds: London or other urban localities in the UK and images of formerly British Caribbean nations." --publisher website
"Life Between Islands explores the relationship between the Caribbean and Britain in art from the 1950s to the present day. It is also a multi-generational story of a Caribbean community that settled in Britain and forged a new Black British identity and culture. Featuring a wide array of artworks, this book brings together artists hailing from or in dialogue with the Caribbean. Engaging with the complex cross-cultural narratives of the past, exploring the social, cultural and political issues of the time, and pointing to the future, it offers a multi-layered and vital account of postwar and contemporary Caribbean-British art history and is a celebration of the communities that have helped shape modern Britain."-- Publisher's description, lower cover.
