Pre-Publication discount for Our Caribbean A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles Special Pre- Publication Discount Order sheet below Available May 2008 Our Caribbean A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles Thomas Glave, editor “Our Caribbean is a superb anthology. Thomas Glave does not exaggerate when he writes that this is ‘a book that I and others have been waiting for and have wanted for all our lives.’ Here we have a book that makes literal the ongoing necessity to write ‘against silence.’”—Elizabeth Alexander, author of American Blue: Selected Poems The first book of its kind, Our Caribbean is an anthology of lesbian and gay writing from across the Antilles. The author and activist Thomas Glave has gathered outstanding fiction, nonfiction, memoir, and poetry by little-known writers along with selections by internationally celebrated figures such as Reinaldo Arenas, Audre Lorde, Achy Obejas, Assotto Saint, José Alcántara Almánzar, Michelle Cliff, and Dionne Brand. The result is an unprecedented literary conversation on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered experiences throughout the Caribbean and its far-flung Diaspora. Many selec–tions were originally published in Spanish, Dutch, or Creole languages; some are translated into English here for the first time.
