Cross-sectional associations between medical affirmation, social connectedness, and psychological well-being in transgender and gender-diverse adults
Many transgender and gender-diverse adults (i.e., those whose gender identities or expressions differ from their sex presumed at birth) affirm their identities medically and, in addition, rely on their social networks for identity-related support. While both medical affirmation and social connectedness are linked to well-being, their combined effects and differences across gender identities remain underexplored. The present article aimed to exami…

Rip Van Winkle in the Rainforest

Covid-19 has continued to affect book reviewing this year, as reviewers whom we had to remind wrote us back saying everything from “I’m stuck in Dakar” or “I crushed my right index finger in an anchor mishap two months ago [and] ... typing was problematic for a number of weeks” to “in the midst of the pandemic I fell and broke my leg in two places,” not to mention people’s frequent child-care/remote learning challenges (for some books, we had to …

Maroon Fashion History: An Update
Fashion has long been a dynamic aspect of Maroon culture in Suriname and French Guiana (Guyane). The textile arts that carry it through from one generation to the next were totally ignored by early writers, who lavished praise on the men's art of woodcarving but said virtually nothing about the artistic gifts of women-most importantly in calabash carving (referred to by one of them as "doodling") and clothing. This article, based on more than fif…

This year, once again, we begin by expressing our gratitude to all the reviewers who have, collectively, provided such a rich resource for keeping up with writing on the region. At the same time, we must lament the fact that some of the people who've accepted a book and promised to review it have, despite gentle reminders over a year or two, never shared their assessment with NWIG readers

In 1994, to mark the journal's 75th anniversary, Gert Oostindie wrote a useful history of the evolution of the New West Indian Guide beginning with its first half-century as the Dutch-language, Dutch-oriented West-Indische Gids, founded in 1919 and renamed the Nieuwe West-Indische Gids in 1959 ("From Wig to NWIG, 1919-1993," published with vol.68).He noted that in the first 40 volumes, fully 250 of the 280 articles dealt with Dutch territories an…

From San Juan to Paris and Back: Francisco Oller and Caribbean Art in the Era of Impressionism, written by Edward J. Sullivan
Francisco Oller was a Puerto Rican artist born into a "white uppermiddle-class family of intellectuals and medical professionals" (p.12), whose life work was deeply marked by relationships with Impressionist artists and extended sojourns in European capitals, especially Madrid and Paris.Edward Sullivan looks at the ways in which Oller combined the influences of his experiences abroad with an "intense attachment to the specifics of Puerto Rican ge…

of calabashes and gourds by non-Western peoples living in the Caribbean and other tropical environments. With few exceptions, the terms calabash and gourd have been assumed by speakers of European languages to be synonymous and to designate a more or less homogeneous botanical (and cultural) domain. This paper argues that the traditional interchangeability of these two terms has led to confusions in the ethnographic literature on African and Afro…

Patchwork history: Tracing artworlds in the African diaspora
Essay on interpretations of visual art in societies of the African diaspora. Author relates this to recent shifts in anthropology and art history/criticism toward an increasing combining of art and anthropology and integration of art with social and cultural developments, and the impact of these shifts on Afro-American studies. To exemplify this, she focuses on clothing (among Maroons in the Guianas), quilts, and gallery art. She emphasizes the r…

Callaloo
First paragraph]"Callaloo" follows, in historically correct sequence, its culinary antecedent, "Caribbean pepper-pot" (NWIG 58:89-98); it is devoted to books that for one or another reason have fallen through the cracks of the review process. Some represent titles for which the book review editors have found it impossible, despite repeated efforts, to find a consenting reviewer; others lie on the periphery of geographical or topical categories we…
Rundown
First paragraph]Our 1993 rundown of books that have not, for one reason or another, been reviewed in the NWIG follows the culinary metaphors of its precedents, "Caribbean pepper-pot" (NWIG 58:89-98) and "Callaloo" (NWIG 66:95-99). Cassidy & Le Page's Dictionary ofJamaican English (Cambridge University Press, 1967) offers, s.v. rundown:A kind of sauce made by boiling coconut down till it becomes like custard (but stops short of becoming oil). In i…
Turning coo-coo
First paragraph]The pairing of commeal and okra, which pops up everywhere in the Caribbean, nicely captures the amalgam of African and American resources that has produced so much of the region's cultures, and bears witness to the earliness of culinary creolization - on both sides of the Atlantic. Corn(maize) is, of course, native to the New World, and okra (gumbo) to the Old. The Dictionary of Jamaican English includes back-to-back entries on ok…
Cooks' day off

As always, we list those books that (as of press time, January 1997) have not been reviewed because the scholars who agreed…
