David Seth Michaels's magical, utopian novel The Dream Antilles explores desde Desdemona, a secret Caribbean island that submerges at each high tide. For decades, the locals have lived on the island in tree houses. With humor, wit, compassion, and spirit, they ward off repeated threats to their privacy from the outside world, even as they integrate two newcomers into their community who themselves could easily betray the island's secrets. The island's secrets are many. Its existence, location, and massive disinformation campaign, combined with its long and mysterious connections with a pod of dolphins and the Great Mother turtle, make desde Desdemona vulnerable to destruction if discovered. The island also has an unusual relationship with time. But it is the community of traditional plant healers and the magical teachings of Swamiji, its trickster spiritual teacher, that truly must be safeguarded. The Dream Antilles stands in delightful and hopeful contrast to the blandness and predictability of the everyday world. You will return to the island of desde Desdemona for refreshment over and over again.

Our Caribbean written by Thomas Glave and has been published by Duke University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with History categories.
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 together with selections by internationally celebrated figures such as José Alcántara Almánzar, Reinaldo Arenas, Dionne Brand, Michelle Cliff, Audre Lorde, Achy Obejas, and Assotto Saint. The result is an unprecedented literary conversation on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered experiences throughout the Caribbean and its far-flung diaspora. Many selections were originally published in Spanish, Dutch, or creole languages; some are translated into English here for the first time. The thirty-seven authors hail from the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Suriname, and Trinidad. Many have lived outside the Caribbean, and their writing depicts histories of voluntary migration as well as exile from repressive governments, communities, and families. Many pieces have a political urgency that reflects their authors' work as activists, teachers, community organizers, and performers. Desire commingles with ostracism and alienation throughout: in the evocative portrayals of same-sex love and longing, and in the selections addressing religion, family, race, and class. From the poem "Saturday Night in San Juan with the Right Sailors" to the poignant narrative "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?" to an eloquent call for the embrace of difference that appeared in the Nassau Daily Tribune on the eve of an anti-gay protest, Our Caribbean is a brave and necessary book.

Calypso Arc - this is what Carlo Reltas calls the Lesser Antilles, the chain of islands from the Virgin Islands in the north to the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao in the south. The rhythm of calypso music epitomises the joie de vivre that characterises the people of this island world. Carlo Reltas takes his readers to the dream destinations of the Caribbean - in entertaining texts, which he garnished with over 100 photos. He shares his encounters with a fisherman and gambler, a fake pirate from the "Pirates of the Caribbean", friendly hosts, a lifesaver and many more Antilleans. He runs a half marathon in Barbados at dawn. He climbs the "killer mountain" Mont Pelé on Martinique, the Gros Piton on Saint Lucia and the highest mountain in the Lesser Antilles, the Soufrière on Guadeloupe. But he also deals with the hurricanes of 2017 in the final chapter "Irma, Maria and the consequences". The author was a journalist and manager of an international news agency for decades. Since leaving the news business, he has been living on the edge of the Odenwald (Germany) and travelling.
