The
Caribbean Writer is seeking works that explore the
defining moments of the Caribbean experience, the symbolism in the places that
dot the Caribbean landscape, the journeys that inform our experiences, the
memories that will not let us go. We hope to highlight and document Caribbean
life in its broadest sense. We also invite works that provide a critical and
historical overview, of times, places, and memories that reflect the wit,
resilience and resourcefulness of Caribbean people as well as the implications
of certain periods that have helped to define the notion of the contemporary
Caribbean.
Major events in the history of the
Caribbean and the experiences of people wherever they live the Caribbean
experience is relevant in very profound ways. Memories of these events are meaningful
not only because they provide fodder for introspection and change, but also
because their implications are articulated on a number of levels. Memories of
natural disasters, calamities, migrations, pivotal national decisions, national
movements, societal trends, populations shifts, alienation issues, economic
swings, internal struggles, and survival strategies ripple through the diaspora
and have had such an impact on people that they possess an abiding ability to
elicit passionate responses that can create new rifts or forge new alliances.
