Sheer Bliss: A Creole Journey
by Michela A. Calderaro

“One part biography, one part criticism, one part memoir, one part detective”

“Bliss: an early twentieth century, white creole, Jamaican, lesbian writer. The scholar Michela Calderaro reads into the past to recover Bliss, a writer she reveals as ahead of her time and not fit for her time or place in the world. Calderaro delivers Bliss back to the present, through interviews conducted across many years with Bliss’s lifelong partner Patricia Allan-Burns, through the recollections of editors and friends painstakingly tracked down, through letters and diaries discovered and meticulously pored over and pieced together.”
—Shara McCallum, Professor of English, College of Liberal Arts, Penn State University

Lucille Mathurin Mair by Verene A. Shepherd
Apart of the Caribbean Biography Series

Lucille Mathurin Mair (née Walrond) made a mammoth contribution to women in Jamaica and across the world. In this biography, Verene Shepherd traces Mair’s evolving ideology through her roles as professional historian, wife, mother, mentor, diplomat, national and international civil servant, legislator, and women’s rights activist. Mair’s tireless commitment to the principles of justice and equality for women guided her work and she particularly sought to centre women of the Global South in the development agenda.
