Сборник антилски разкази, стихотворения и откъси от романи от средата на XX век. Много добре е съставен да даде възможно най-пъстра картина на автори, езици, диалекти, етноси, социални групи, природни особености, задморски литературни и културни влияния и гледни точки по всевъзможни вълнували карибчани теми. Или най-малкото - вълнували покълващата през епохата в региона литературна традиция
