Fergus, in Salted Tongues: Modern Literature in St. Martin.
Between the World and Me
Winner, Kirkus Prize for Non-Fiction, 2015 In the 150 years since the end of the Civil War and the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, the story of race and America has remained a brutally simple one, written on flesh: it is the story of the black body, exploited to create the country's foundational wealth, violently segregated to unite a nation after a civil war, and, today, still disproportionately threatened, locked up and killed in the streets.

In The Angel Horn poems there is the inflectional spirit ... reciting intimate, national, universal, cross-fertilizing characteristics of history, rephrasing aspects of its impressionable nature into the melodious song of a lifetime. This history of Shake Keane does not lie. --Anastacia Larmoni.

Nomad
Poetry. Drama. Carribean Studies. Women's Studies. "NOMAD, a survivors' handbook, a travellers' guide for anyone who has known the burden of a life bundled into bags. Weekes' word journeys conjure...and reveal the inner world of the eternal wanderers."--A-dZiko Simba Gegele "After the Soufrière Hills volcano explosion...in 'exile' from her beloved Montserrat,...choking memories of the flaming mountain follow the poet like an untamable spectre of awe and fear that awakens in her the determination to face life's challenges with stubborn grit."--J.A. George Irish
A History of Literature in the Caribbean: English- and Dutch-speaking countries
For the first time the Dutch-speaking regions of the Caribbean and Suriname are brought into fruitful dialogue with another major American literature, that of the anglophone Caribbean. The results are as stimulating as they are unexpected. The editors have coordinated the work of a distinguished international team of specialists.

The reader can follow the comparative evolution of a literary genre or plot the development of a set of historical problems under the appropriate heading for the English- or Dutch-speaking region.
