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…

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…

Beyond Francophonie: Contextualizing Éloge de la créolité
This essay sets Éloge de la créolité (and the créolité movement) in the comparative context of earlier identitarian movements in the Caribbean and Afro-America, such as the Caribbean Artists Movement (anglophone Caribbean), Wie Eegie Sanie (Suriname), and the Grupo Antillano (Cuba). It stresses the extent to which each of these other movements relied on active dialogue among differently positioned individuals, from artists and poets to dancers, m…

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…

Into the mainstream: Shifting authenticities in art
When artists who were once dubbed "primitive" find themselves operating in a freshly expanded environment, with an international clientele, new materials to work with, access to urban exhibition spaces, the counsel of culture brokers, and options for travel abroad, their response can include highly creative innovations in both the forms they produce and the interpretations they offer of their work. The new environment can sometimes even lead to a…

Return to the Quai Branly
The Musée du quai Branly, built in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, opened to great fanfare in 2006. Since then it has sponsored a wide variety of exhibitions and conjoint activities and fueled rich debates about museology in the postcolonial world-from collecting practices in the field and issues concerning cultural property to the politics of display and the distribution of power among collectors, dealers, curators, anthropologists, and art hist…

Michel Leiris, French Anthropology, and a Side Trip to the Antilles
Susan Sontag seems to have been on to something when she placed her word portraits of Michel Leiris and Claude Lévi-Strauss back to back.2 An elaboration of her comparison (which was more implied than explicit) may help situate anthropological practice in France—and Leiris’ special role in it—within the larger context of trends elsewhere in the world

Sexism and the Construction of Reality: An Afro-American example
The literature on the art of the Suriname Maroons depicts men as active artists producing decorative woodcarvings as gifts of love for their women, who are passive connoisseurs. This paper explores the ways by which Maroon women use their own arts to affirm their social relationships and to reflect on them. It also traces misconceptions about Maroon women and their arts to notions of gender that are held by ethnographers and by the Maroons themse…

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…
