Super engaging blog post! When I was growing up I had no idea what the lyrics of these songs meant until a Jamaican professor I had for a class during undergrad pointed it out. This is definitely a reason for its […]

I, too, hope this site grows to include local opinions. Food places and little venues on the countryside are hidden gems that a lot of tourists would love to attend and discover. I wonder how the locals would feel […]

I think pages like I Am Jamaica and the Black Twitter/Tumbler serve as arenas to forget the problems of home. These are not spaces in which “white” people or anyone who does not connect personally to these […]

This web platform is interesting. I certainly wonder to what extent Cubans have access to seeing and participating on this forum. I question how much they are a part of this conversation and if this is more for […]

We constantly come across this issue in our class discussions and I certainly think it is an important one. The idea that Caribbean writers and artists must find success in “superpower” countries such as England […]

I recently watched the documentary “Roots of Rhythm” with Harry Belafonte and cannot help but to connect it directly with your blog post. Recognition of African roots is certainly at the heart of Caribbean […]

I did not realize that this site was only up in preparation for their event! It seemed as if it meant to be an ongoing conversation dedicated to discussing Cesaire. Caribbean studies would definitely benefit from […]
