The idea of a cultural unity despite political disunity is a common theme (even when local forms or individual writers are at issue), as is a sense that such unity can resist metropolitan economic and intellectual hegemonies even as its cultural productions run the risk of being caught in the snares of global multinationalism. Overall here is a sense of cultural vitality ever in search of and always creating new, but simultaneously traditional, representations of Caribbean being and experience.
