In the November/December Caribbean Beat

While you are waiting, dear readers, for the next issue of the CRB--almost on its way to subscribers' mailboxes--you might like to spend some time with the November/December issue of Caribbean Beat, now online. Among other delights you'll find a story about the Trinidadian dancer Beryl McBurnie's career in 1940s New York, an interview with Jamaican writer Kei Miller, and reviews of a new Marcus Garvey biography, a history of West Indians who served in the British imperial military, and the story of a Trinidadian bank--plus a feature on a tiny historical library in St Kitts and a short travel article on the little-known Caribbean island of San Andres, written by your own Antilles blogger.
