As we continue to navigate the ongoing polycrisis, we — guided by Sylvia Wynter’s resonant and ever-prescient words — are launching a new call for submissions, 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐬 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞.
Imperialism is far-reaching, stretching across borders, and harming people across difference: from martyred people of the soil to stolen oil. This is a crucial period in which Caribbean feminists, emboldened by and spirited with a decolonizing, Queeribbean sensibility, must rise to meet this moment.
With this in mind, we invite you to submit critical essays, fiction, plays, poetry, posters, screenplays, art, and photography that address the urgency of leveraging Caribbean feminisms as a primary antagonism against imperialism and fascism by 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.
