Literature

This section really should need no introduction and this gives us all the opportunity to share our knowledge of the books available that inform us about African/Caribbean communities.

It may be a new novel, poetry or a play that we want to share. This also gives you an opportunity to review something that you have read. We also invite you to write your own poems or rap that tellus in your own way what you think about any issue relating to black commuinities and their condition.
