1,560,896 page views and counting! From the United States of America to the Republic of Yemen, this blog has been viewed 1,560,896 times since I began tracking in 2007 with Google Analytics. As Mikey Smith would have said, “Mi cyaan believe it!”
From my very first post on December 13,
2005, that began so tentatively with “Why
Do I Continue to Write?” my blog has continued to include not only my work,
but also the work of important writers from the English-speaking Caribbean.
And
as more elder
writers continue to join the ancestors, it is essential that we honor them
while they are alive. Our literature, as Leonard
“Tim” Hector reminded us, is different from every other region on the
planet and we are the only ones who can tell it. But first, we must believe
that it’s a story worth telling. This blog is a testament to that belief.
My blog has also expanded its scope with
the petition to exonerate Marcus Garvey. I’ve lost a few readers, but I’m
pressing ahead because Garvey represents one of the most important questions
that we in the Americas should ask ourselves: “How
will I negotiate the African presence in my life?”
How we answer this question will influence
every aspect of our lives.
The guidelines that Garvey articulated provide a
useful framework for the development of cultural models in the Caribbean. The
seeds have been sown for many projects that—Jah willing—will come to fruition in
2013.
