Members of the academic staff of the Institute conduct their own research in the fields of literature, linguistics, anthropology/ ethnology, history and art history. Some of them are associated to Berlin universities where they lecture. In the context of its academic and cultural programs the Institute regularly organizes international colloquia, conferences, exhibitions as well as artistic events.

JOURNAL EXCHANGES

The International Scholarly Relations Committee is pleased to publicize the following request:

The History Department at the University of the West Indies, Mona, is considering setting up some more journal exchanges to add depth to the University Library’s holdings in history and archaeology. The department’s primary focus is on Caribbean history, but we teach undergraduate and graduate courses on most other areas and over a fair methodological range. We are primarily seeking to add journals in English, French or Spanish. These exchanges will be initiated through the History Department, but will be operated by the Library’s Acquisitions Unit.

A fuller list of journals available for exchange through the Library can be sent out, but for history they include; Caribbean Quarterly, The Institute of Jamaica’s Jamaica Journal, Jamaican Historical Review, Journal of Caribbean History, Social and Economic Studies, the journal of the University’s Institute of Social and Economic Research, along with the Department’s annual Elsa Goveia Memorial Lectures in Caribbean history. There are also some publications from the Social History Project at the Department which can be exchanged.

This June, it will be 50 years since the WINDRUSH ship sailed

from the Caribbean and dropped the first 400+ people who herealed

the Caribbean immigration to England. The B.B.C in

conjunction with various other organizations are planning

to CELEBRATE this. What is needed is to find the

400 members on that ship, some of who went *back*

to the Indies. We need to get in touch with them urgently

and we hope you can help us do that.

Not only because some of their maybe dramatized,

but they're not getting any younger so this maybe

the ONLY chance to document *their experience* in

*their* Own words.

E-mail me, at:

LATIN AMERICA THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN!!

**PART 2!!!:

When initial research was done not only was it found that from 1948 onwards

was there Caribbean immigration, but it was from ALL OVER THE WORLD.

INCLUDING **LATIN AMERICA**

So we need also to hear from people from ALL OVER the World who emigrated

in 1948 to the U.K. Wherever you came from.

what were your experiences? How did you handle the culture shock?

All this is also part of the Windrush project.

We expect letters and E-mails from all over the World. CLAH

looks to be well resourced, even if you personally didn't come

but maybe you can get somebody who did to contact us.

or PRINT this up or E-mail others so the word gets out.

This maybe a rare chance to highlight the history of

Latin American migration around the world.

hope to hear from you soon.

write soon, Heri.

The Research Fellows will each receive the support of the Center, access tot he extraordinary holdings of the DeGolyer Library, and a subvention toward the publication of their books. Each fellowship carries a stipend of $30,000 and modest allowance for research and travel expenses.

Guaraguao es una revista de cultura latinoamericana que edita el Centro de Estudios y Cooperación para América Latina (CECAL) con auspicio de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. Guaraguao pertenece a la Asociación de Revistas Culturales de España (ARCE).

Guaraguao da cabida a la investigacion interdisciplinaria, a la creación literaria contemporánea latinamericana y a las tareas de recuperación, mediante la reedición de textos de reconocido valor pero de escasa circulación. Éstas conforman las tres principales secciones de la revista: ensayo, creación y recuperación.

Una de las motivaciones de esta iniciativa es propiciar un espacio de encuentro y comunicación de los diversos enfoques de la reflexión contemporánea sobre la cultura en America Latina, y transmitir la diversidad y riqueza de los productos y manifestaciones de ese continente.
