Abstract
The African Studies Association of the West Indies (ASAWI) came into being in 1967 for the primary purpose of promoting a scholarly interest in African Studies in the Caribbean area. In the context of this region, the term “African Studies” was to be used to include elements of African culture which persisted in or had an influence on institutions in the region. ASAWI aimed at making a contribution to the body of scholarship on African topics, especially in subjects where West Indian sources and interpretations would add another dimension. ASAWI Bulletin (hereafter Bulletin) was a major forum through which the Association disseminated information to the public.Eight issues of the bulletin were published between 1967 and 1976. It began as a mimeographed item, but after three issues it appeared in printed form. By the time eight issues had appeared, the editors acknowledged that the Bulletin from its inception had “showed signs of life more akin to a journal.“
