The Arrivants | An(Other) World Book Club

$27.00

Here, in a single volume, is Kamau Brathwaite's early groundbreaking trilogy The Arrivants--containing Rights of Passage (1967), Masks (1968), and Islands (1969)--a brilliant and visionary exploration of the predicament of the poet living in the New World. Through the tension of regional dialect, musical rhythms, historical flashbacks, and excursions to Europe, New York, and Africa, Brathwaite interweaves the past and present of his Caribbean homeland--its natural beauty, its violent history, and the values that sustain its people--into a vigorous and unforgettable poetic work.

An(Other) World Book Club in partnership with Masterworks

Long Story Short created reading lists to complement ‘(An)other World’, an exhibit at Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art that ‘positions the island and its artists not as passive subjects but as active contributors of cultural authorship, innovation and historical momentum.’  

The books in the adult reading list have been selected to be in dialogue with the exhibit and, explore themes of (neo)colonialism, identity, migration, and access. Over the 6 month exhibition period, readers will be invited to three discussions, each one featuring fiction and non-fiction.
