Life Between Islands is the first major publication with a focus on contemporary art that reflects on a pre- and post-Windrush Caribbean/British movement from Alex Farquharson, the director of Tate Britain, and curator David A. Bailey. This fascinating book traces the connection between Britain and the Caribbean in the visual arts from the 1950s to today, a social and cultural history more often told through literature or popular music. With its multigenerational perspective, Life Between Islands reveals that the Caribbean connection in British art is one of the richest facets of art in Britain since the Second World War and is a lens through which to understand the Caribbean diasporic experience in all its social, cultural, psychological, and political complexities across generations. Features over 40 artists, including Aubrey Williams, Donald Locke, Horace Ové, Sonia Boyce, Claudette Johnson, Peter Doig, Hurvin Anderson, Grace Wales Bonner, and Alberta Whittle. Includes color illustrations
