Elsa Goveia is revered among Caribbean Historians both for her leading role in the introduction and teaching of Caribbean History as a specialised area of study and as a pioneer in West Indian Historiography. All leading historians of The University of the West Indies from the late 1950s to the end of the 1960s were influenced and, in some cases, mentored by Goveia. Over the years, both the Mona and Cave Hill campuses of The UWI have hosted annual lectures by leading historians in her memory, an honour not accorded to any other Caribbean historian to date.
This collection, published under the auspices of the Department of History and Philosophy of The UWI Cave Hill Campus, is a selection of lectures delivered in Goveia’s honour at Cave Hill – some by former colleagues like Woodville Marshall and a young Hilary Beckles and by others who all acknowledge her influence on their careers as historians and academics.

From stationmaster’s daughter to wife of one of Jamaica’s most charismatic prime ministers, Beverley Manley’s life has been an odyssey.

As a young girl, starved of her mother’s love because she was darker than her siblings and forced to do housework while her sisters relaxed, Beverley was a modern-day Cinderella. Her adolescent years were painful, having to carry the burden of her self-loathing, the feeling of inferiority within her own family and the constant echo of her mother’s voice telling her she was good for nothing. However, Beverley defied her mother’s prophecy, and triumphed over her ‘ordinary’ beginnings first as a model in Jamaica and later becoming a household name on radio, television and the local stage. It was her path at the then Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) that would lead her directly to Michael Manley and ultimately to Jamaica House. Marriage to Michael also led to her political awakening; not content to being the docile wife, Beverley assumed an activist role in the governing People’s National Party (PNP), becoming embroiled in the ideological politics of the 1970s that would eventually lead to her estrangement from Michael and the painful self-assessment that came with his affairs and her own. The resulting termination of their marriage forced on her a self-imposed exile in the US where she took refuge from the ire of the Jamaican elite for daring to walk out on one of their own. But Beverley was to redeem herself and earn new respect as a broadcaster, commentator and incisive interviewer on the immensely popular and innovative Breakfast Club radio show.

Now older and much wiser, Beverley tells it like it is in this intriguing and revealing memoir. It is a rags to riches story – almost; a story of triumph and loss; of rising again and finally of redemption.

For the young and young at heart.

Tito is bewildered by the world of adults, those strange humans that kiss on the lips and never stop working. While they live their lives, Tito is obsessed with playing football and achieving victory with his team, the Los Ángeles Rojos. But for this, there is a long way to go because as the old saying goes: 'Boys win games, but men win championships.'

On entering Tito’s world we meet his close friend, advisor and mentor, the dimunitive Vicente who is wise beyond his years; his beloved mamá and Tito’s struggle in coming to terms with the presence of her new boyfriend, the wretched Leo; his Language teacher Munoz Almighty, Tito’s living nightmare and the beautiful Pipina, the girl with watery eyes like Nicole Kidman, who steals Tito’s heart and whose kisses have the taste of passionfruit ice cream.

In opening the pages of Tito’s secret diary, Marcelo Simonetti reveals Tito’s most intimate thoughts, his fears and his dreams. It is a coming of age story with universal themes of boyhood innocence, adolescent fantasies and the magic of first love. It is both insightful and at times hilariously funny.

Tito is not just for boys, its also for, and about girls; and it is even for us adults full of bittersweet memories of what it was like growing up.

MIAMI DADE NORTH CAMPUS INSTAGRAM POST: Yesterday (Nov 21) we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Denton Tulloch, a former English professor here at Campus, who recently co-authored the short story collection, “Tales from the Jamaican Heartland” with Alman Lawrence.

IRP books ... standing the test of time.
‘And I remember many things … Folklore of the Caribbean’ is Still Relevant: An article by Gleaner writer Paul H. Williams in the August 22, 2024 edition of the newspaper.

“Caribbean children today are growing up in a world of television, ‘fast food’ and ‘ready-mades’, a world dramatically different from that of their grandparents. The purpose of this collection is to preserve some of the heritage for them and for the generations yet unborn.” - Christine Barrow
