Her publication includes articles on both Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean writers.In recent years she pursued a particular interest in areas of writing in Guyane (French Guyana) which had previously attracted little scholarly attention, and in the Franchophone theatre of the Caribbean. She was also a poet in her own right. With Dr. Jones’ passing, UWI and the region as a whole, have lost a friend who will be remembered, not only for her sterling contribution to Caribbean scholarship, but also for the extent to which she identified with her adopted country and region.
