Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In an essay entitled “Making Callaloo: Past, Present, and Future,” Charles Rowell explains, “Callaloo has become more than a literary journal, growing into a de facto literary and cultural center.” [...]Callaloo was—and remains—a response to those desperate arresting circumstances throughout the African Diaspora, especially those in the American South. [...]the field of American literature was perpetuating the same lie of Black invisibility, of Black voicelessness.
