The latest issue of Caribbean Beat celebrates the diaspora’s people, food, history and culture in a special way! Learn about Trinidad-born singer and actress Melanie La Barrie as she makes her Broadway debut after years of excelling in the United Kingdom; and explore the work of celebrated Guyanese-British artist Hew Locke, whose latest exhibition is on show at the Tate Britain. Meet emerging creatives like Tobagonian designer Trishelle Leacock and Barbadian dancer Gina Mayers — whose passion for dance has lifted her through devastating personal loss and a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Revisit the landmark life and work of Jamaican Harlem Renaissance poet and Bolshevik revolutionary Claude McKay; and discover the long-abandoned town in Dominica (La Soye) which may fundamentally change our understanding of the island’s history. As the festive season approaches, our Cookup column maps out how those with dietary restrictions — and those hosting them — can enjoy the festive season together; while Dr Jo-Anne S Ferreira shares some insights on the fascinating origins of some of our favourite festive foods. Globally, we take a deep look at why and how Caribbean leaders are taking a much tougher stance at the COP27 climate conference and beyond. And finally, as always, get up to speed on the latest regional events, book and music releases, and more!

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.
