Callaloo

Abstract

[First paragraph]"Callaloo" follows, in historically correct sequence, its culinary antecedent, "Caribbean pepper-pot" (NWIG 58:89-98); it is devoted to books that for one or another reason have fallen through the cracks of the review process. Some represent titles for which the book review editors have found it impossible, despite repeated efforts, to find a consenting reviewer; others lie on the periphery of geographical or topical categories we cover; yet others do not, in our view, merit longer review in this journal. But all, we think, deserve to be brought to the attention of NWIG readers. Unlike a Books Received column, Callaloo is retrospective; it is intended to complement the substantial section of the journal devoted to reviews themselves.
