Abstract

Caribbean Quarterly, published since 1949, is the flagship journal of culture of the University of the West Indies. The refereed journal concerns itself with Caribbean culture in all its ramifications. It is an outlet for the publication of results of research into, and considered views on, matters Caribbean. Normally an issue contains six to eight articles of original thought, which are of general interest and relevance to the Caribbean islands and the neighbouring mainland of Central and South America. The journal comprises scholarly articles, essays, criticism, creative writing, and book reviews. An overall picture of life in one of the most culturally diverse parts of the Western hemisphere emerges with information on its culture, ethnology, history, peoples, religion and creative arts. The journal appears in March, June, September and December.

Abstract

When Derek Walcott was awarded the Nobel Prize, he was cited for ""a poetic oeuvre of great luminosity, sustained by a historical vision, the outcome of a multicultural commitment."" The lively interviews in this collection reveal Walcott's generous and brilliant intelligence as well as his strong, forthright opinions. He discusses the craft of poetry, the status of contemporary poetry and drama, his founding of the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, and his views on a number of influential writers, including Eliot, Auden, Brodsky, Heaney, and Naipaul.Boldly speaking his mind, Walcott takes many controversial positions on a wide range of subjects, such as Caribbean and U.S. politics, literary instruction in American universities, the proper role of sound in modern poetry, and the ""ego"" apparent in contemporary American poetry, and problems of race. Whatever the subject, Walcott responds fully and candidly.

Abstract

This comprehensive study of the historical archaeology of the Caribbean provides sociopolitical context for the ongoing development of national identities. Long before the founding of Jamestown in 1607, there were Spanish forts, bustling towns, sugar plantations, and sea trade flourishing in the Caribbean. While richer nations, particularly the United States, may view the Caribbean today as merely a place for sun and fun, the island colonies were at one time far more important and lucrative to their European empire countries than their North American counterparts.

Abstract

"This volume brings together nineteen Caribbean specialists to produce the first general introduction to the indigenous peoples of that region. Writing for both general and academic audiences, contributors provide an authoritative, up-to-date picture of these fascinating peoples - their social organization, religion, language, lifeways, and contribution to the culture of their modern descendants - in what is ultimately a comprehensive reader on Caribbean archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnology."--Jacket.
