Belinda Edmondson holds a joint appointment in the Departments of English and African-American & African Studies, and sits on the executive
council of the Caribbean Studies Association. She is the author of Making Men: Gender, Literary Authority and Women's Writing in Caribbean Narrative (Duke University Press) and the editor of Caribbean Romances: The Politics of Regional Representation (University of Virginia Press).
Professor Edmondson teaches courses in colonial, post-colonial
and African diaspora literatures (specifically Caribbean, African, Indian, and African-American literature), as well as courses in film and popular culture. She is currently working on two related projects. The first, Caribbean Middlebrow: Popular Culture and the Caribbean Middle Class, is a study of the middle-class cultural production in the English-speaking Caribbean from the 19th century to the present. The second, Ideologies of Early Caribbean Literature, will analyze 19th century Caribbean literature from the English-, French-, and Spanish-speaking Caribbean as a corpus.
