Celebrating "Black Britain" – Repeating Islands

Eighty-five years after the UK publication of the ground-breaking Minty Alley, the only novel by CLR James, at a time when Caribbean literature is once again seizing the attention of British audiences, the Bocas Lit Fest has joined forces with British organisations to celebrate Black British culture. As mentioned below, the full program is available, free of charge, from March 8 to 13 on the Bocas Lit Fest website. The Bocas Lit Fest, Your Local Arena and Penguin Books UK, will host a week-long programme (8-13 March), of literature, film and music, exploring the contributions of generations of people of African and Caribbean heritage to the rise of what is now called ‘Black Britain’.

Sunday Times / University of Warwick Young Writer of the Year Award. First of all, congratulations on winning the 2020 Sunday Times / University of Warwick Young Writer of the Year Award! How does it feel to have the book recognised in this way, at this moment? It’s nice personally, but it’s a strange year to win. I am conflicted because so many others are struggling. It’s weird to be handed a cash prize during a pandemic. It’s also funny because people often ask what I will do with it, but the truth is that every penny is going to the landlord.

In its diverse subjects and themes, in the broad dispersal of both writers and readers, Caribbean literature has a global sweep. Two generations ago, Jamaican poet Louise Bennett-Coverley wrote about Caribbean people âcolonising in reverseâ âand, indeed, contemporary Caribbean authors have helped shift and broaden the focus of the international literary world, changing the conversation in every way. Raising the international profile of Caribbean authors and building a broader readership for Caribbean writing outside the region has been a key objective of the Bocas Lit Fest for the past decade. Through strategic partnerships with international cultural agencies such as the Commonwealth Foundation and the British Council, as well as international literary festivals, Bocas has created opportunities for Caribbean writers to present and publish their work, and network with peers in locations ranging from the United States, Canada and Britain to Bangladesh, South Africa and
