Beyond Homophobia and Binary Gender: The Case of Jamaican Men
Radical Interdisciplinarity
This essay delineates the concept of radical interdisciplinarity, the use of methodologies that combine traditional scholarship with that which is not traditionally considered either scholarship or even part of an academic discipline-specifically poetry and other creative arts. The author describes radical interdisciplinarity as building on the hybrid methodologies of women of color authors such as Gloria Anzaldúa, Audre Lorde, Leslie Marmon Silk…
Behind the Orange Door
What does it mean to embody the Caribbean as performance/art? In this coolaborative essay, two Caribbean women artists respond to this question in a dynamic dialogue of text and images. Each has individually performed at and been exhibited in more than fifty venues across the Caribbean, Africa, and the United States. Artistic comrades for twenty years, they have also collaborated with each other in performance and video. Here, they offer a deep e…
One Sustained Moment: The Constant Re-creation of Caribbean Sexualities
King responds to essays by noted scholars Faith Smith and Lisa Outar critiquing her 2014 book Island Bodies: Transgressive Sexualities in the Caribbean Imagination. In particular, she addresses the choice to examine interracial relationships between Caribbean men of color and foreign white woman rather than between Caribbean people of African and Indian descent. King also addresses recent portrayals of Caribbean trans people and of Caribbean wome…

The International Resource Network: A Hard-Won Success, an Uncertain Future
The International Resource Network:A Hard-Won Success, an Uncertain Future Rosamond S. King (bio) The call for proposals for this issue of WSQ states that “queer studies . . . stakes its claims by working at once within, against, across, and beyond disciplinary boundaries” (2015). While this is true, both women’s studies and queer studies are more likely to cross disciplinary boundaries than geographical ones. The subjects of queer studies are st…

Re/Presenting Self & OtherTrans Deliverance in Caribbean Texts Rosamond S. King (bio) As has been mentioned elsewhere, transvestism is a more than one hundred year-old tradition in Caribbean carnivals.1,2 Characters such as the loca and the dame lorraine, both of which are men in women's dresses with padded or exaggerated breasts and buttocks, make regular, traditional appearances in the annual Festival de Santiago Apóstol in Loíza Aldea, Puerto …
Sheep & goats together: Interracial relationships from black men’s perspectives
Word Plays Well With Others
It has been seven years since the publication of Harryette Mullen's last book, Muse & Drudge. Even so, she has never been far from the poetry or academic scenes, continuing to publish in journals and anthologies, reading all over the country, and being the subject of various scholarly works (including a special issue of Callaloo). Her complex but engaging prose poems have been described variously as language writing, language poetry, experimental…
The Flesh and Blood Triangle in Paule Marshall's The Fisher King
The Fisher King, by Caribbean-American author Paule Marshall, encompasses many tales: two feuding families, the rise and fall of a jazz musician, and the intricacies of friends turned lovers. As in her previous novels The Chosen Place, the Timeless People and Daughters, Marshall dips in and out of the lives of characters who encounter important historical events, in this case the Great Migration of African Americans to the North of the USA and th…
