The contributors to this collection address a range of issues in Caribbean linguistics. At this stage of Caribbean development, it is critical that we have a broader appreciation of the significance of the languages of the region for developing a deeper sense of self and for understanding others who have shared a common Caribbean experience. The linguists in this volume interrogate the interpretations of the history of our Caribbean languages, the use of these languages for literary expression and their role in the democratization of education and the development of Caribbean people. Several of the articles deal with profoundly controversial topics, including the question of competence in a Creole environment; the expansion of Rastafarianism globally and how word-formation devices reflect Rastafarian thinking; the use of the vernacular in West Indian education; the relevance of vernacular literacy for education; the use of Creole in Caribbean literary texts; and how to determine dialect boundaries, especially in linguistic situations in which Creoles from two distinct lexical bases vie for social space and supremacy.The work is dedicated to the distinguished Caribbean linguist Pauline Christie and celebrates her contribution to the study of linguistics in the Caribbean.

In this impressive first collection of short stories, HazelSimmons-McDonald presents a deft exploration of class, of how values are shapedby religion, and of the tensions that undergird family life. She makes a placefor voices hitherto not heard and creates characters who closely guard thesecrets of their hearts but who through her narrative dexterity come toexperience moments of truth and clarity of memory.Simmons-McDonald’senergetic prose not only captures the polylinguistic character of St Luciansociety but it also creates a space for the exploration of an Eastern Caribbeanbrand of magical realism. With polished assurance, sheweaves folk beliefs into the fabric of her stories, creating memorable tales markedby notes of sadness yet balanced by tenderness and joy. Simmons-McDonaldtakes the reader on a journey where the familiar and the unfamiliar sit side byside, where the spirit world is always present, and where at all times we arereminded of the universal reach of love and hope.
