Life Between Islands: Caribbean-British Art 1950s - Now

This fascinating book traces the connection between Britain and the Caribbean in the visual arts from the 1950s to today, a social and cultural history more often told through literature or popular music. With its multigenerational perspective, Life Between Islands reveals that the Caribbean connection in British art is one of the richest facets of art in Britain since the Second World War and is a lens through which to understand the Caribbean diasporic experience in all its social, cultural, psychological, and political complexities across generations.

Features over 40 artists, including Aubrey Williams, Donald Locke, Horace Ové, Sonia Boyce, Claudette Johnson, Peter Doig, Hurvin Anderson, Grace Wales Bonner, and Alberta Whittle.
