Caribbean Dispatches takes a highly original approach to one of the world's most diverse cultures, covering a wide cross-section from Guyana to Trinidad & Tobago in the south to the Bahamas in the north. It offers an entertaining and idiosyncratic collection of personal perspectives on the Caribbean, by 28 writers of different backgrounds, for readers who want to get beneath the exotic surface of the tourist experience. It's not a guide book, but for the curious it's full of inside information, with the emphasis on variety, the unexpected and the intimate. It is the ideal companion for anyone fascinated by the Caribbean who wants to find out more, while for those who know the area already, it illuminates hidden corners and takes you further than you've ever gone before... so gripping is it that you'll have read it on the plane before you even get there!
