Imagining the [Unbounded] Grounds of [Caribbean Canadian] Consciousness
The “Introduction” to this Special Issue on “Recognition and Recovery of Caribbean Canadian Cultural Production” surveys the multiple creative directions and critical orientations of Caribbean Canadian cultural production and raises key questions about the grounds on which Caribbean Canadian cultural production is recognized, especially in Canada. The guest editors also explore the productive, but sometimes problematic, relationship between Carib…
Austin Clarke’s “Saga Boys”: Black Aesthetics as Epistemology
Austin Clarke in Nine Men Who Laughed and Ebony Patterson in her Gangstas for Life series both inspire an investigation of the way in which the “Black dandy” is an index of Black aesthetics as epistemology. Via a dialogue between Clarke’s Black male dandies of the post 1960s Toronto in his short stories and Patterson’s visualizations of the post 1980s dancehall dandies in Kingston, this article argues that Afro-Caribbean invocations of the Black …
Criminal Intimacies: Psycho-Sexual Spatialities of Jamaican Transnational Crime in Garfield Ellis’s Till I’m Laid to Rest
How might we understand the sexual body as a significant site for tracing the spatial imaginaries of Jamaican transnational crime?

Staging seduction: Masculine Performance or the Art of Sex in Colin Channer's Reggae RomanceWaiting in Vain
Waiting in Vain, Colin Channer’s reggae romance, opens up a space for examining the performance of Caribbean masculinities abroad and, more significantly, the possibilities for rewriting the script for masculine identity performance by way of the radical aesthetics of reggae. Using Kwame Dawes’s examination of Channer’s engagement with textual seduction in Natural Mysticism (1999) as my point of departure, I will argue that the very strategies of…
