Drumvoices Revue was published by Southern Illinois University Edwardsville between the late 1990s and mid-2000s, positioning itself as a journal at the intersection of African, African American, and Caribbean literary cultures. In an era before digital circulation transformed the literary magazine landscape, it served as a crucial connector across the Black Atlantic.
The journal published poetry, fiction, criticism, and visual art with particular emphasis on writers working across national and cultural boundaries — a project that remains urgent and underinstitutionalised. Our single issue, while modest in quantity, adds a useful node to the comparative diaspora literary resources available through No Parking Lagos.
