Resiliency Caribbean Quilt Volume 6 (2021) and its issues ‘Resiliency’ and ‘Revolution’ represent a departure from the norm. It has been eight years since Caribbean Quilt published a double issue volume, which is a rarity in student-run journals. Such a feat highlights the scope of scholarship produced in the field by the University of Toronto core and extended community. Reflecting on contemporary and historical challenges in the region, pieces featured in Resiliency consider the ways in which the Caribbean and its trailblazers have stood firm. It is often used to put the onus on the marginalized or disenfranchised to ‘be or become resilient. Resiliency is what a region composed of the “modern world’s historically marginalized -- indigenous peoples, enslaved peoples, and indentured labourers” has continued to achieve. Our contributors approached these interrelated themes in dynamic ways and we hope this work inspires you through our collective efforts towards meaningful change in the Caribbean. Volume 6 (2021) issues ‘Resiliency’ and ‘Revolution’ were produced as a part of Caribbean Quilt's 10th Anniversary edition. More Full Issue PDF
