New World Quarterly, Vol. II, No. 4, 1966.

Repeating Islands – It was one of Caribbean economist Norman Girvan’s final requests to his family: Make the archive of New World Quarterly, a foundational journal that appeared between 1963 and 1972, available to younger generations. Accordingly the Girvan family, working with Kari Levitt and Judith Wedderburn, has digitized all 14 issues of this postcolonial gem of a publication, (…) “Our thoughts are that a digital publication is a contemporary gesture in the spirit and scope of The New World community, residing in a space with open access to all,” said the Girvan family’s statement. Norman Girvan, along with Lloyd Best, George Beckford and other academic activists had launched the journal in the early 60s. A valuable archive of articles on everything from the geopolitics of the Anglophone Caribbean region to agriculture in China, the sugar industry, Sports, Visual Arts, Literature, Caribbean integration the journal represented in its pages the “birth, flourishing and eventual demise of one of the region’s most influential intellectual movements,” the New World Group.

Office of External Research, U.S. Dept. of State, University Centers of Foreign Affairs Research, [U.S.] Dept. of State Publication 8378, Washington D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, April, 1968.

From the Foreword (Scope of this Directory):
As a service to the academic community and to Government agencies sponsoring research, the Office of External Research of the Department of State has published several directories of centers engaged in international studies. (…) The focus of this volume is on U.S. university affiliated centers which have as their main purpose social science research in foreign affairs. It includes only those university research programs and projects which are organized into easily identified centers or institutes. It includes both area-oriented research centers and those specializing in a functional field. It does not, however, include centers at which a principal emphasis is on teaching at the undergraduate level.


Institute of Caribbean Studies (Entry # 145, p. 97)
Description: The purposes of the Institute are to encourage, support and serve as a center for scholarly research and exchange in the Caribbean, to give disciplinary training to Caribbean specialists, and to stimulate interest in the Caribbean among the University community.
