Caribbean Writers & Their Art: History, the Caribbean and the Imagination (1991)

Kamau Brathwaite in conversation with Edward Baugh as a part of the Caribbean Writers Summer Institute at the University of Miami.

Speaking on comparative literature in the Caribbean, Brathwaite says, "It is necessary that we do this because the Caribbean although artificially divided into English-speaking, French-speaking, Dutch-speaking, Spanish-speaking, is really part of a whole underground continent of thought and feeling and history."

Mestizaje in Latin America: Definition and History (article)

Anti-Blackness in Latinx Communities (article)

Race, Ethnicity and Democracy in Guyana and Trinidad (video)

Skin Bleaching in the Caribbean (video)

The Great Camouflage by Suzanne Césaire (essay) (p. 39)

A few resources for understanding the complexities of race and ethnicity in the Caribbean and Latin America more broadly, which differs greatly from identity and racial dynamics in the north. The first two articles are for an overall introduction while the last few links are focused more on different local contexts and span topics such as colourism, mestizaje, skin bleaching and anti-blackness.

One of the points that Dr. Stacy-Ann Wilson alludes to briefly in the video on race and ethnicity in Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago that I wanted to highlight is that even though she studied at an all-black college, that didn't necessarily equate to an awareness of the distinct dynamics that exist in the Global South amongst her colleagues—something I have noticed, too, but don't tend to see acknowledged.
