Watermelaninmen and Other Works
Watermelaninmen And Other Works is a Poetry Chapbook by Chike Pilgrim
Memory and the Archival Turn in Caribbean Literature and Culture
This book discusses an archival turn in the work of contemporary Caribbean writers and visual artists across linguistic locations and whose work engages critically with various historical narratives and colonial and postcolonial records. This refiguration opens a critical space and retells stories and histories previously occluded in/by those records, and in spaces of the public sphere. Through poetics and aesthetics of fragmentation largely influenced by music and popular culture, their work encourages contrapuntal ways of (re)thinking histories; ways that interrogate the influence of colonial narratives in processes of silencing but also centre the knowledge found in oral histories and other forms of artistic archives outside official repositories. Discussing literature and selected artwork by artists from Britain, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad and Tobago, Memory and the Archival Turn in Caribbean Literature and Culture demonstrates the historiographical significance of artistic and cultural production.
The Pilgrim
Paul Tradour is a teacher, doctor, and pastor who, for the best part of a decade, has labored faithfully amongst the remnant people of one of Africa's great tribal nations. After an unsuccessful attempt to return to the United States, he cannot refuse the calling of his beloved continent once again. The former Sergeant Daniel Rutter, a South African Special Forces sniper, was never supposed to return from one final mission that nearly cost him his life. After being ordered to kill Pieter Dortmus, the father of his friend Elizabeth, he uncovers his victim's legacy—a fortune in diamonds from a secret mine. After almost a year of legal battles to clear his name, Daniel is eventually discharged from the Army and returns to the valley of the Impala, where he soon discovers he is not suited for a quiet domestic life teaching children. Meanwhile, Elizabeth has no idea that the tall, decisive soldier she is attracted to took her father's life. As Paul and Daniel reconnect and resume their close friendship, they have no idea that Elizabeth is about to be unwillingly catapulted into a dangerous situation that will change the course of all of their lives forever.

Fanny Needs a Father
Fanny is a good-looking vixen. She is a little adventurous, especially when it comes to guys, but she goes to confession every Saturday and makes her behavior right with Father Harris. He has taken a keen interest in her, because he knows she needs someone. The man in her family has left, and Father Harris knows the reverberations this sort of thing can have on little brats like Fanny. He goes to great pains to accommodate her, for in taking care of Fanny he is taking care of himself. His position in the community offers him great responsibility. He enlists the aid of other men in the congregation. Men Father Harris has known for a long time, from his vantage point in the confessional. When even that doesn't work, Father Harris must take matters into his own hands. Will Fanny get what she needs? Yes. Is what she needs the same as what she wants? Perhaps. Desire is such a fickle thing, fueling all manner of toxic behavior and impropriety.
