About the CRB
The Caribbean Review of Books (CRB) is an online magazine covering Caribbean literature and arts. We focus on reviews of new and recent books of Caribbean fiction, poems, biography, arts, culture, and current affairs, but the CRB also publishes new writing, interviews, and essays on literature and culture.
The CRB is currently on indefinite hiatus and not actively publishing new material.
History
The original CRB was published from 1991 to 1994 by the University of the West Indies Publishers’ Association in Mona, Jamaica, and edited by Samuel B. Bandara. (You can read those issues in the Digital Library of the Caribbean.)
In May 2004, the CRB was revived by a team of writers and editors based at Media and Editorial Projects (MEP) in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Our last print edition was published in 2009. In 2010, the CRB was relaunched as an online magazine. In 2013, the CRB began a partnership with the Bocas Lit Fest, Trinidad and Tobago’s annual literary festival.
The magazine is currently published online, with new content appearing weekly or fortnightly. It is free to all readers.
