The book, Central Africa in the Caribbean: Transcending Time, Transforming Culture, by retired UWI Professor, Maureen Warner-Lewis, and published by the UWI Press received the 2004 Gordon K and Sybil Lewis Award at the 29th Annual Conference of the Caribbean Studies Association recently. The citation read: "This work is a copious examination of elements of the cultural and historical nexus between societies in Central Africa and the Caribbean Basin. The result of obviously prodigious primary-and secondary-source research over several years, this work falls squarely in the Lewis tradition in its geographic scope and disciplinary amplitude. As regards the former, while, understandably, there is variability in the extent to which it deals with specific Caribbean societies, the research landscape is pan-Caribbean. The discourse is even extended in places to sections of Brazil. In relation to disciplinary scope, this work is not just a treatise in cultural studies, but also a work that would resonate with the fields of cultural anthropology, history, and linguistics, among other areas. Moreover, the author has an engaging writing style, which should make the book interesting to and comprehensible to those who are not expert in the relevant fields." Over 24 publishers submitted 53 books. The UWI Press and the UWI community congratulate Dr. Warner Lewis for yet another prize for this seminal work. The award was shared with Ediciones Callejon.
