Welcome to the Caribbean Corner at New College of Florida!

This site is the result of the individual and collective work of the Advanced Spanish class for the Caribbean Literature course. As part of the class requirements, each student had to select and study an author from the class syllabus. The project consisted of: doing research about the author’s life and work, analyze one or several of his/her literary texts, and read critical pertinent critical bibliography. In addition to their written contribution for the site, each student made an oral presentation to the class about their chosen author. These students' interest in the study of Spanish language and its literature is particularly meritorious when one reflects that the majority of them are not Spanish majors. We hope you find the web site information useful. For questions or comments you may contact: slabrador@ncf.edu

Enjoy the information and come back soon!
