From spectral slaving ships to women who shed their skin at night to become owls, stories from writers such as Jamaica Kincaid, Marcia Douglas, Ian MacDonald, and Kamau Brathwaite pulse with rhythms, visions, and the tortured history of this spiritually rich region of the world.

Indigenous Resurgence in the Contemporary Caribbean:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Forte, Maximilian C. / Forte, Maximilian Christian, PUBLISHER: Lang, Peter, Publishing Inc., Views of the modern Caribbean have been constructed by a fiction of the absent aboriginal. Yet, all across the Caribbean Basin, individuals and communities are reasserting their identities as indigenous peoples, from Carib communities in the Lesser Antilles, the Garifuna of Central America, and the Taino of the Greater Antilles, to members of the Caribbean diaspora. Far from extinction, or permanent marginality, the region is witnessing a resurgence of native identification and organization. This is the only volume to date that focuses concerted attention on a phenomenon that can no longer be ignored. Territories covered include Belize, Cuba, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, French Guiana, Guyana, St. Vincent, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Puerto Rican diaspora. Writing from a range of contemporary perspectives on indigenous presence, identities, the struggle for rights, relations with the nation-state, and globalization, fourteen scholars, including four indigenous representatives, contribute to this unique tesament to cultural survival. This book will be indispensable to students of Caribbean history and anthropology, indigenous studies, ethnicity, and globalization.

City of a Hundred Fires

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blanco, Richard, PUBLISHER: University of Pittsburgh Press, City of a Hundred Fires presents us with a journey through the cultural coming of age experiences of the hyphenated Cuban-American. This distract group, known as the Generation (as coined by Bill Teck), are the bilingual children of Cuban exiles nourished by two cultural currents -- the fragmented traditions and transferred nostalgia of their parents' Caribbean homeland and the very real and present America where they grew up and live. There is a Caribbean lushness and rhythm in these poems with characters like "Sarita in her porous eggshell skin....the soft balls of her feet and strawberry toenails seeping from under the edges of sheets swirled around her contours like icing". But there is also a sense of wistfulness and proud self-invention addressed formally through languages and style, with individual poems effortlessly combining Spanish and English into an understandable text. The journey ends in this self-invention, a mosaic assembled from fragments of culture, history, and language, fractured but whole.

Jesus and Yahweh: The Names Divine

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bloom, Harold, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, "The most controversial, explosive, and important book yet from the renowned author and critic." Harold Bloom uses his unsurpassed skills to examine the character of Jesus: the inconsistencies, the contradictions, and the Gospels' flaws of logic. He also explores the character of Yahweh, who Bloom argues has more in common with Mark's Jesus than he does with God the Father of the Christian and rabbinic Jewish traditions. In fact, Bloom asserts, the Hebrew Bible of the Jews and the Christian Old Testament are very different books with very different purposes. At a time when religion has taken center stage in the political arena, Bloom's controversial examination of the incompatible Judeo-Christian traditions will make readers rethink everything they take for granted about what they believe is a shared heritage.

The Poetics of Derek Walcott: Intertextual Perspectives

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Davis, Gregson, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, The essays collected in this issue offer complementary critical perspectives on the mature lyric work of Derek Walcott, the acclaimed Nobel laureate from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. The centerpiece of the ensemble is a previously unpublished essay in which Walcott's reflections on poetics illuminate his project in the masterpiece, "Omeros." Other contributions by literary scholars in North America and the Caribbean focus on fundamental dimensions of Walcott's craft and on such thematic preoccupations as the intersection of pictorial and verbal modes of representation, the deployment of nuanced intertextual strategies (especially in relation to the Greco-Roman canon), the invention of a viable artistic identity in a postcolonial intercultural milieu, and the psychosocial modeling of the process of literary apprenticeship.

Sir Gawain: Knight of the Goddess

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Matthews, John, PUBLISHER: Inner Traditions International, Restores Gawain of Camelot to his true role as the foremost representative and servant of the Goddess. - The full story of Gawain of Camelot that restores a lost piece of the great Arthurian tapestry. - Traces the historical trends that demoted Gawain from the foremost knight of the Round Table to a villain and womanizer. - The result of more than 20 years of research by one of the world's leading scholars of Arthurian mythology. Sir Gawain, the nephew of King Arthur, was once the most important knight at Arthur's court, a shining example of all that was best in chivalry. He even outranked the famous Lancelot. Yet as the popularity of the Arthurian romances grew, the character of Gawain became increasingly diminished in popular literature. John Matthews explores the phenomenon that influenced the recasting of Gawain from hero to womanizing villain, providing a scholarly context through which Gawain's role as the representative of the Goddess upon Earth--the real Green Knight of Camelot and Sovereignty's Champion--may be restored. In addition, the author presents a unique view of the mythology of Britain and its connections with the historical changes that took place over many hundreds of years in the religious and mystical traditions of the country.
