About the author

Ramchand’s ground-breaking The West Indian Novel and Its Background (1970) contains outstanding interpretations of major West Indian writers such as Earl Lovelace and Wilson Harris. It was followed in 1976 by An Introduction to the Study of WestIndian Literature. A visiting scholar in a number of universities in Britain and the USA, he became the first Professor of West Indian literature in 1984 at the University of the West Indies. His frequently controversial ‘Matters Arising’ column in Trinidad Guardian discusses political, economic and literary matters in the local dialect. A short-story writer in his own right, Ramchand’s contribution to education and culture – as an academic, a creative artist and an independent senator – remains largely unrecognized in his own country.
