...Brathwaite) and dozens of gifted storytellers (V. S. Reid, Samuel Selvon, Clement Richer, Lydia Cabrera, Albert Helman). Many of them are Negro or part-Negro, and they write in several languages (Dutch, English, French, Spanish). Their works, sampled in this arresting anthology by U.S. Poet Barbara Howes, insistently betray a family resemblance.
