Abstract:"Caryl Phillips is one of the most respected writers of his generation. An award-winning author best known for his fiction, essays and stage plays, his radio plays, nine of which were broadcast by the BBC between 1984 and 2016, are regarded as hidden gems. Previously locked away in Phillips's archives, housed at Yale University, Caryl Phillips's Radio Plays collects these important works of drama in one edited edition for the first time. Despite being previously overlooked, these radio plays are fully creative works in their own right and constitute an integral part of Caryl Phillips's literary universe. Not only do these dramatic texts display the author's hallmark mix of formal elegance and sharp social criticism, but they also offer compelling points of comparison with the rest of his wider writing. From the experience on an 18th century slave ship and the life of a migrant family in 1970s England, to an account of James Baldwin's time in Paris and Marvin Gaye's excursion to Belgium, these plays grapple with expansive themes in creative and dramatic ways. Contextualized by a scholarly introduction from Phillips's official biographer, this volume introduces these works in the published form for the first time, allowing readers a better grasp of Phillips's narrative techniques, offering fascinating vistas into his imaginary world, which ranges from the history of the African diaspora to the predicament of displaced individuals the world over"--
