She also submitted a proposal for a volume she will coedit with Franklin Knight on "Contemporary Caribbean Societies and Cultures" for which twelve prominent Caribbeanists have agreed to write original pieces; she and Franklin Knight will also write the introduction. The volume will be published by the University of North Carolina Press.
