Caribbean Beat - November/December 2024 Issue 185

In this issue

In the latest issue of Caribbean Beat, meet outstanding talented Caribbean people making names for themselves on the world stage — Trinidadian-American Angela Hunte, Dominica's Johnathan “Chef Jono” Shillingford, Barbadian-Canadian Betty Hope-Gittens, emerging artist Vivien Elizabeth Armour, and the newsmakers of Caribbean heritage on our screens during the US election season. Dive into the Caribbean Christmas season by learning about the festive traditions that are so uniquely us. Discover the magic of what we can accomplish when we work together — from Staceyann Chin returning to Jamaica to create a 70-acre, inclusive homestead, to saving our marine ecosystems (and favourite seafood). Explore unforgettable regional events, history, and destinations — including Puerto Rico’s Old San Juan — before catching up on new book, film, and music releases from across the diaspora. Enjoy it all in your take-home copy on your next Caribbean Airlines flight; via a print or digital subscription; or read for free online (along with classics from our archive)!

Caribbean Beat Magazine Description:

Published since 1992 by Media & Editorial Projects Ltd (MEP Publishers) as the inflight magazine of BWIA and now the award-winning Caribbean Airlines (and Air Jamaica), Caribbean Beat is the Caribbean’s leading magazine on Caribbean and West Indian arts, culture and society. Beat is a magazine about the real Caribbean — a general-interest, pan-Caribbean publication, produced in the West Indies, by Caribbean people. It gets behind the familiar stereotypes to show how rich Caribbean life really is – its music, art, dance, books, sport, fashion, design, festivals, history, environment, people, lifestyle. This is the region’s most widely-distributed magazine, committed to the highest editorial and production standards.
