Writing Gender Into The Caribbean
The revolutionary act of imprinting gender into Caribbean thought is celebrated by Patricia Mohammed as she brings together decades worth of her critical essays that have influenced directions in feminism and in social thinking. In the face of narratives that cast shadows on the value of evolutionary progress, Mohammed encourages us to take pause and recognise how far gender scholars and feminists have come in leaving the world more gender equitable than we found it.
Literary Occasions
A remarkable companion piece to The Writer and the World, Naipaul’s previous volume of highly acclaimed essays, Literary Occasions is a stirring contribution to the fading art of the critic, and a revelation of a life in letters. In these eleven extended pieces V. S. Naipaul charts more than half a century of personal enquiry into the mysteries of the written word and of fiction in particular. Here are his boyhood experiences of reading books and his first youthful efforts at writing them; the evolution of his ideas about the extent to which individual cultures shape identities and influence literary forms; observations on Conrad, his literary forebear; the moving preface he wrote to the only book his father ever published; and his reflections on his career, ending with his celebrated Nobel lecture, ‘Two Worlds’. ‘He is an exceptionally good and perceptive critic – a few passages on Dickens are worth whole books by others – and when he addresses the art of fiction he not only writes beautifully (as always) but with complete humility’ New Statesman

Women, Men and News
This multi-authored scholarly volume explores the divide between men and women in their consumption of news media, looking at how the sexes read and use news, historically and currently, how they use technology to access their news, and how today’s news pertains to and is used by women. The volume also addresses diversity issues among women’s use of news, considering racial, ethnic, international and feminist perspectives. The volume is intended to help readers understand adult news use behavior--a critical and timely issue considering the state of newspapers and television news in today’s multi-media news environment.
Primary Colours
My poems have simply kept coming over the years often inspired by an impactful observation, conversation, element of music or as an emotional urge that simply spouts out in written words to present itself. Almost every poem here was once at least the length of a legal pad page but has been pared down on every pass to speak to its individual essence only. Always, the intent has been to pin down the truth of my feelings being experienced at that time, or over time. 'Primary Colours' is meant to speak to the colours we may ascribe to our most visceral and immediate moments of flushed emotion e.g. infatuation, grief and joy. Some of the poems here may speak to specific colours but are not meant to be definitive. Some others seek to capture a reminiscence or reflection and all collectively serve as a record of this past phase of my life, the kernels of wisdom gained, and perhaps some insight in common with the reader. Special thanks to Wounded to Wonderful Publishing for their endless participation to make this dream a possibility.
