The contemporary Indo-Caribbean identity is one that consists of our Indian roots, Caribbean heritage, and North American upbringing. This delicate combination of cultures influences our daily lives and the way in which we navigate the world around us. The art of storytelling has been a powerful tool in the Indo-Caribbean community, enabling the survival of our history, and allowing us to pass down stories of “home” to the generations that follow. Two Times Removed gives way to the newest generation of Indo-Caribbean storytellers, the descendants of indentured labourers, whose stories have yet to be told. This curated collection features eighteen new works that delve into themes of mental health and identity, family relationships and motherhood, anti-Blackness and segregation. Each author in this volume embarks on a personal journey, through character or themselves, of vulnerability and sharing their lived truths. Two Times Removed is a distinctive and memorable collection that will spark dialogue at home and within the community, showcasing the richness of Indo-Caribbean culture and the value of our stories.
