Estimada Lisa:
Mi nombre es Janisette, he visitado su blog, buscando información sobre el premio otorgado al artista plástico cubano Mearson Daniel, y me ha sorprendido muy gratamente los artículos publicados sobre nuestra cultura.
Actualmente radico en Toronto, me gustaría visitara nuestro sitio http://www.oleoscuba.com, que promueve artistas plásticos cubanos. Cualquier sugerencia al sitio será bienvenida y si de alguna forma pudiéramos colaborar en la promoción de estos artistas, se lo agradeceríamos igualmente.

I’d like to bring your attention to the publication of a short story collection featuring 2 Caribbean authors and others from the African diaspora. Bloodlines – Tales From The African Diaspora has 14 stories and is available at Amazon, Smashwords and on the Kindle.

The book is brought to you by MyAfricanDiaspora.com

Hello All,

First I would like to say how glad I am to have literally stumbled upon this website. It will definitely be useful resource for me moving forward.

After 20+ years as a university administrator & 3 teenagers later, I started the MEd program at York University, Toronto, Canada in September. I have many research interests, but am currently focussing on the lives of Caribbean born females who migrated to the UK to determine how their life experiences influenced their role as mothers and relationships with daughters, with specific reference to the decisions regarding education .

Drawing on my own heritage as a reference point, I set out to undertake preliminary research about schooling and education in Guyana/British Guiana. So far, I have not been very successful in finding literature that provides a comprehensive and historical analysis of education in Guyana from colonial days to present. Scholars I have consulted with to date have cited the so-called “brain drain” of Guyanese intellectuals as a reason for this vaccuum. Having found this site I’d like to know if members of this community could provide feedback and recommendations as to sources I could review in my quest for meaningful and authentic reflections of schooling and education in Guyana (especially 1900s onwards).

I look forward to your responses and finding out more about Repeating Islands.

Hello there,

I stumbled across Repeating Islands whilst researching Caribbean societies – haiti in particular.

Sorry to use the comment section to ask – but do you have a contact email for this blog. I’d love to discuss all things Haiti with you. Would you be open to the idea of raising awareness for humanitarian projects in Haiti?

Best wishes

Laura

I would love to network.

Sincerely,

I was wondering if we could be added to your blogroll and we can add your site to our favorite links?

We thought we could let you know a little about us!

We have a website called https://www.DoJamaicaYourWay.com where we feature locally owned accommodations that are available to tourists. DO JAMAICA YOUR WAY believes in supporting local people and businesses in Jamaica, therefore we act as liaisons between the traveler and the owners. We are a UNIQUE service that focuses only on Jamaica vacations. Do Jamaica Your Way offers great accommodations in fabulous local guest houses, villas and apartments and so much more! Think outside the box and you see a whole new way to vacation!

By going local we keep the tourism dollars where they belong and ensure you will see a side of Jamaica you’d NEVER get to know inside a big all-inclusive resort. See the true Jamaica. We’re here to tell you there’s nothing to fear by venturing outside the resort!

its a good thing you have this project even without the advertisements. i think its more like of an advocacy for me.

Great site! I am definitely going to subscribe. Thanks a lot!

As we seem to be of like minded people here, I very much wanted to share news about a new Caribbean middle reader / YA novel. I am pleased to say the book has no vampires or wizards inside and the world has not ended already!!

‘The Eye of the Storm’ is about the magical environment and the real freedom for young people that still exists in our part of the Caribbean. Kamaria and Scorpion Island are where the teenager friends discover an old sailing sloop, the descendent of a real life pirate, and a hurricane that threatens to destroy everything in its path…

Press Release

Stewart Brown and Ian McDonald (Eds.)
The Bowling was Superfine: West Indian Writing and West Indian Cricket

Stewart Brown and Ian McDonald present a multi-faceted portrait of the significance of cricket to the Caribbean and the attraction of Caribbean cricket to the world outside. With poems, calypsos, stories, extracts from novels, essays, speeches, cricket journalism and essays about cricket writing, the editors show cricket inhabiting all areas of the Caribbean imagination.
From its expression at the highest level on the global field of play, to the no less titanic struggles on the bumpier fields of the village or the sugar estate, this is a celebration of those who forged an art out of a game, those who transformed a colonial sport into the cutting edge of Caribbean nationalism, and, in the 1970s and 80s changed forever the nature of the game. Over both editors hovers the benign ghost of that great West Indian CLR James, and The Bowling Was Superfine is not least a worthy act of homage to the writer whose Beyond a Boundary first revealed the convergence of Caribbean being and cricket.
Writers represented in the anthology include Derek Walcott, Kamau Brathwaite, George Lamming, V.S. Naipaul, Earl Lovelace, Sam Selvon, C.L.R. James, Bruce St. John, Learie Constantine, Sylvia Wynter, Edgar Mittelholzer, Mark McWatt, Stanley Graves, Anthony Kellman, Paul Keens Douglas, Edward Baugh, Phillip Nanton and Michael Anthony
Stewart Brown is a poet and has edited of several major anthologies as well as critical studies of Derek Walcott, Kamau Brathwaite and Martin Carter.
Ian McDonald is Trinidadian by birth and Guyanese by long residence and adoption. He is the author of the recently filmed The Hummingbird Tree, four collections of poetry and a play. He edits Kyk-over-Al.
The book is 371 pp, regular price approx. Bdos $75. http://www.peepaltreepress.com

Caribbean author Michael Connors (the “Caribbean go-to guy”) has just introduced 8 additional furniture items to his Caribbean Furniture Line (manufactured by Scott Thomas Furniture Inc.) The Michael Connors Caribbean Line now consist of 25 different pieces based on designs he has discovered on the Caribbean islands he visits to research for the books he has written (Caribbean Elegance, Cuban Elegance, French Island Elegance, Caribbean Houses; Architecture and Interiors, British West Indies Style; Antigua, Jamaica, Barbados, and Beyond, and The Splendor of Cuba; 450 Years of Architecture and Interiors.)
In a recent interview Connors said; “The style of furniture made in the Caribbean islands form the 1920s to the 1950s is a genre that has been totally overlooked and/or neglected – except by collectors. This is the perfect time to illuminate the unsurpassed beauty and elegant legacy of Caribbean modern (moderne, or art deco inspired) design.” He went on to say, “This younger look, classification and expression of furniture forms is completely new to the interior design and furniture marketplace, and Scott Thomas Furniture has the foresight, understanding and ability to reproduce it.”
The Michael Connors Collection can be seen in the Scott Thomas Furniture Showrooms 525 North Wrenn Street, High Point, NC 27062 (Telephone 336-886-8778.)
