On behalf of the staff at The University of the West Indies Press, I invite you to join our celebration of twenty-five years as the largest and most prestigious scholarly press in the English-speaking Caribbean. The UWI Press has endured and flourished through many changes and challenges over the decades. This catalogue presents more than twenty titles, the culmination of hard work by our superlative authors and dedicated staff. he Press maintains a commitment to our traditional fields of Caribbean history, social sciences, political science and cultural studies.
To this list we are pleased to announce several new series: the Caribbean Biography Series, Caribbean Media Studies, Jamaican Popular Music, and Festivals of the Caribbean. With renowned series editors at the helm of each, we hope these series will attract new works by our existing authors and appeal to a crop of new writers from North America, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and the diaspora.
