Journal of Caribbean
Studies, Vol. 6, No. 2

The journal has moved. Dathorne left Miami for the University of Kentucky in 1987, and this number is published for the Association by the University Press of Kentucky, with the Association’s address now a post office box in Lexington; Robert Halberstein joins as associate editor and the journal is appearing three times a year. Frank Birbalsingh opens with an interview with Jan Carew. Evelyn O’Callaghan sets European and American feminist theory against Jamaican stories; Clement London argues for a Caribbean curriculum; Lydia Lindsay writes on Jamaican immigrant women in Birmingham between 1951 and 1971; Les Back traces soundsystems and cultural politics in south-east London; Cecil G. Gouke writes on finance and development; and the Rt. Hon. A. N. R. Robinson contributes on Trinidad and Tobago. Poems by Dathorne and M. McWatt sit between the essays. The honorary committee has grown to include Jorge Amado for Brazil and Lord David Pitt of Hampstead for the United Kingdom.
