After Caliban (Duke University Press), by Erica Moiah James studies the methodology and impact of several Caribbean artists of the 1990s who gained prominence in the global art world, through the lens of decolonization. The work takes its impetus from Aimé Césaire’s rewriting of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in which the previously-maligned antagonist Caliban emerges as the author of his own autonomous history. After Caliban focuses on the art and practice of Marc Latamie, Janine Antoni, Belkis Ayón, Edouard Duval-Carrié, and Christopher Cozier. James examines how each artist refused conformity or flattening of their work, contextualized against historical and social realities.
