' The West Indian novel has two functions,' STUART HALL , a young Jamaican critic, wrote some years ago. ' It must give us an eye to see our society, and an eye to measure ourselves in our search for identity.' Since then many English-speaking writers from the Caribbean have received serious attention in England. Some of the writers concerned, who have made their temporary home in London, discuss their literary and cultural objectives with Stuart Hall.
Their conversation takes place against the background of a newly won political identity: the first Federal Parliament of the West Indies was opened in Trinidad on April 22
