Publisher’s description: Callaloo, the premier journal of art, literature and culture of the African Diaspora, publishes original works by and critical studies of black writers worldwide. The journal offers a rich mixture of fiction, poetry, plays, critical essays, cultural studies, interviews, photography, and visual art. Frequent annotated bibliographies, special thematic issues, and original art and photography are some of the features of this highly acclaimed international showcase of arts and letters. Special issues on the Confederate flag, Haiti and on Puerto Rican Women Writers have received recognition from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, and the Association of American Publishers Professional Scholarly Publishing Division.
“Callaloo is a bubbling dish of what is lively, scholarly, serious, and imaginative. It has become a staple food for American literary thought.” - John Hollander, Yale University
"Callaloo...is no less than a Mother Lode of outstanding Afro-American arts and letters." - Alex Haley
"Without Callaloo the entire landscape of American letters
would be immensely impoverished. What higher praise can a journal
earn?"
-Ken Wissoker, Editor-in-Chief, Duke University Press
