Abstract
The shortlist for the 2023 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature featured authors from Trinidad and Tobago in all three categories: poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The finalists, each of them winners in their respective genres included Anthony Joseph, for his poetry compilation, Sonnets for Albert [
Pamela Mordecai released two collections of poetry, the first of which, A Fierce Green Place: New and Selected Poems brings together a selection of work written throughout a period of over thirty years, along with some new poems. Her second publication, de book of Joseph is the third and final instalment in her trilogy about the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, reimagined with the cadences of Jamaican Creole.

Buyers Beware: Insurgency and Consumption in Caribbean Popular Culture by Patricia Joan Saunders is a useful critical aid for scholars of and from the region. Saunders centres on consumption practices regarding Caribbean popular culture and delineates the need for caution in this regard. We Must Learn to Sit Together and Talk About a Little Culture: Decolonising Essays, 1967–1984 is a welcome addition spanning the early works of leading contemporary cultural theorist Syliva Wynter. It broadly reveals a thinking that has long refuted the Eurocentric gaze and advocated for a more inclusive one, born out of various histories of struggle and survival in the region[all in
An exciting publication stemming from another leading Caribbean thinker is The Blackest Thing in Slavery Was Not the Black Man: The Last Testament of Eric Williams, edited by Brinsley Samaroo (1940–2023). It features the last reflections of Eric Williams regarding the institution of slavery as it manifested in various historical and geographical contexts. The Indo-Caribbean diaspora was the subject of critical attention in the publications Voices and Silences Narratives of Girmitiyas and Jahajis from Fiji and the Caribbean by Anjali Singh and Contradictory Indianness: Indenture, Creolization, and Literary Imaginary by Atreyee Phukan [all in
Caribbean women’s writing found itself at the centre of many works of literary scholarship with respect to both books and journal articles. Horizon, Sea, Sound: Caribbean and African Women’s Cultural Critiques of Nation Critical Insurgencies by Andrea A. Davis calls for a diaspora poetics that centres on notions of shared humanity and greater inter-ethnic affiliations among Caribbean artists. Class Interruptions: Inequality and Division in African Diasporic Women’s Fiction by Robin Brooks is a welcome treatise that relies upon various forms of analysis to discuss the ever urgent topic of class inequalities [all in
Stemming from the death of Kamau Brathwaite in 2020, the Journal of West Indian Literature (JWIL) released special issue 30(2) on his life and works. Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism also included a homage to Brathwaite for its 26(1[67]) publication. George Lamming (1927-2022) was also highlighted by JWIL through a critical forum in issue 31(1), in light of his passing that same year [all in
