Professor Rosenberg’s website
Leah Rosenberg teaches Caribbean and Postcolonial studies. Her book, Nationalism and the Formation of Caribbean Literature (Palgrave 2007) tells the story of how intellectuals in the English-speaking Caribbean first created a distinctly Caribbean and national literature in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With J. Dillon Brown, she co-edited Beyond Windrush: Rethinking Postwar West Indian Literature (U Mississippi Press, 2015), an essay collection that significantly expands our understanding of West Indian literature of the 1950s by examining a broad spectrum of overlooked writers, genres, and topics. “Refashioning Caribbean Literary Pedagogy in the Digital Age,” (Caribbean Quarterly 62:3-4 (2017), pp. 422-444) describes her work in digital humanities and pedagogy. She serves as co-chair of the advisory board of the Digital Library of the Caribbean, an open-access, international partnership dedicated to preserving and making accessible Caribbean library and archival materials. She is currently at work on a book about the linked history of tourism and literature in the Caribbean.
