Representing Blackness
The Marcus Mosiah Garvey Multimedia Museum
by Donna E. McFarlane

Edited by A. Lynn Bolles
Through the energetic and gifted abilities of Dr McFarlane, Representing Blackness provides the ideological framework as to why there is value of these kinds of programs in museum settings. Further, McFarlane is adamant that Garvey must be included in curriculum resources for all Jamaican schools. Garvey’s philosophy and opinions inspire, excite, and positively affect the self-identity of Jamaican people, while creating social and economic wealth. Representing Blackness rich in analysis and imagery shows Liberty Hall as the cultural and educational institution that is a living monument to Marcus Mosiah Garvey.

Academic Integrity in the Caribbean

Plagiarism Policies, Perception, Prevalence and Possible Solutions

Author: Ruth Baker-Gardner

Academic integrity is key to the reputation of higher education institutions. Plagiarism, the most frequently occurring form of academic misconduct, poses a significant threat to the maintenance of academic integrity globally, but it has received very little attention in the research literature of the Caribbean. This work is valuable to higher education administrators, faculty and students. It provides the first in-depth examination of plagiarism regionally, and includes relevant information and strategies aimed at helping the region to transition from the current punitive approach to plagiarism management to a culture of academic integrity.

Contact Languages and Music

Editors: Andrea Hollington, Joseph T. Farquharson and Byron M. Jones Jr.

Language and music are connected in many ways. As social and cultural practices, they have been intertwined in multiple ways. Musical and linguistic practices are often intertwined to express distinct and complex identities, attitudes, ideologies, social roles and political views. This volume is the first book-length account of contact languages and music. It offers a stimulating collection of contributions on different territories, multiple musical genres and topics, and various methodological approaches. The chapters address myriad topics such as nationality, ethnicity, identity, gender, migration and diaspora.
