Contemporary Drama of the Caribbean is a collection of six Caribbean plays by authors from St. Vincent, the Bahamas, Jamaica, St. Lucia and the U. S. Virgin Islands which confront the issues paramount to the region today. The plays included are "War," by Cecil A. "Blazer Williams" (St. Vincent), "Black Woman's Tale" by Jean Small (Jamaica), "Triptych" by Kendel Hippolyte (St. Lucia), "No Seeds in Babylon" by Ian Gregory Strachan (the Bahamas), "Bellywoman Bangarang," by the Sistren Theatre Collective (Jamaica) and "Kirnon's Kingdom" by David Edgecombe (U.S. Virgin Islands). The anthology also features an introduction by David Edgecombe "Always Make Sure they Pay You." "Anyone who is interested in Caribbean literature or who has ever taught Caribbean drama knows how difficult it is to find these plays," Dr. Waters remarked. "At last, students and professors will have access to these plays."
