Caribbean
Culture
The following resources related to the culture of the Caribbean Islands have been selected as part of the Summer 2006 Culture Corner. These resources consist of electronic journals and electronic books. The electronic books are available for online "checkout" through the library's catalog for anyone affiliated with the University. They can be read online or "checked out" for four hours. The databases and electronic books can be accessed from within the UT Libraries or if you connect to the Internet with the UT service or through the proxy server.
Additional electronic journals devoted to particular countries in the Caribbean can also be found by searching the E-Journals page by country name.

Kacike: Journal of Caribbean Amerindian History and Anthropology
"The publication of KACIKE: Journal of Caribbean Amerindian History and Anthropology, is motivated by a desire to correct the long standing impression that Caribbean Amerindians were either irrelevant to the making of the modern societies and cultural formations found in the Caribbean basin, merely mute witnesses to history, or that they have been altogether absent in post-colonial Caribbean history. In addition, KACIKE endeavours to counter the impression that there were few or no historical documents that inform us of Caribbean Amerindian societies, groups, individuals, or lifeways, or that they were produced entirely by naive individuals guided solely by superficial and predetermined impressions or by agendas so sinister that absolutely nothing of importance is to be learned. Hence this journal features a historical dimension to the study of Caribbean Amerindian society and culture, extending before 1492 and after."
West Caribbean Business Forecast Report
Report on political risk, economic performance and outlook, and key economic sectors.
