Books by Sylvia Wynter

Written in the late 1950s on the cusp of Jamaica's independence from Britain, The Hills of Hebron tells the story of a group of formerly enslaved Jamaicans as they attempt to create a new life and assert themselves against the colonial power.

As much an act of celebration and defiance as an important historical document, Mixed Company collects the earliest known Jamaican plays, preserving three unique voices that capture the spirit of a country fighting to gain its independence from colonial rule. Contains the plays The Creatures, Bedward and Maskarade.
