The Eastern Caribbean Islands Cultures Conference (ECICC) was held on the island of Dominica in 2009. The ECICC 2009 call for papers invited researchers to present results of their work with the aim of eventually publishing new contributions on the languages, literatures, and cultures of the Caribbean. The participants responded enthusiastically to the call and the results are presented in two volumes. A number of articles in both volumes are local contributions which were submitted on invitation by the editors after the conference. This book, In a Sea of Heteroglossia: Pluri-lingualism, Pluri-Culturalism, and Pluri-Identification in the Caribbean, presents an exciting and diverse array of new points of view on language and culture in the Eastern Caribbean.

Continuity, Divergence and Convergence in Language, Culture, and Society on the ABC Islands.

This book, Iguana’s Newfound Voices: Continuity, Divergence, Convergence in Language, Culture, and Society on the ABC Islands, is a collection of articles that present a critical perspective on the languages, literatures, and cultures of the ABC Islands and the Caribbean diaspora. The volume incorporates invited papers as well as presentations made to the 13th annual Eastern Caribbean Islands Cultures Conference (aka the ‘Islands in Between’ Conference) which was held at the Turkeyen Campus of the University of Guyana from 4 to 6 November 2011. The contributing authors include a wide range of voices old and new from the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean.
