Jan Shinebourne
Jan Lowe Shinebourne (born 1947), also published as Janice Shinebourne, is a Guyanese novelist who now lives in England.〔Anne-Marie Lee-Loy, ("Janice Lowe Shinebourne’s The Godmother and Other Stories (Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2004)" ), ''Kaieteur News'', 16 November 2008.〕 Being of mixed Chineseand Indian ancestry and from Guyana allows her to represent a shared cultural experience that is very dynamic. She is praised for having a strong literary impact through her representations of the Chinese Caribbean Diaspora. Being able to provide an insight into Chinese-Caribbean culture has really enabled Shinebourne to have a distinguishing and rare voice in literature.〔Yamamoto, Shin. "Swaying In Time And Space: The Chinese Diaspora In The Caribbean And Its Literary Perspectives." Asian Ethnicity 9.3 (2008): 171-177. Academic Search Premier. Web. 11 Mar. 2015.〕 In addition to being an author, Shinebourne also worked in London as an editor for several journals, as a political and cultural activist, and as a college and university lecturer. Jan has also done reading tours in many countries in North America, Europe and Asia. 〔 Jan Shinebourne is one of only a few authors who have used their novels to bring to light the aspects of Chinese Caribbean studies. In general there is not a large emphasis on the Chinese Diaspora, but Jan has used her novels to examine the relationship among many characteristics. These relationships include the impact between homeland and country of residence on the diaspora.
