Human Communication Studies Caribbean Scholarship: Research Knowledge and Stories (HCSCS) reviews the published scholarly literature for 2010-2020. It sets out to identify, summarize, and analyze this scholarly body of work from a non-traditional perspective. It focuses on human communication scholarship about the Anglophone Caribbean. It presents knowledge written by scholars from, beyond and related to the Caribbean. The knowledge created, gathered, and shared by resident, diasporic, non-resident, global scholars with an interest in topics of relevance to the Caribbean contributes to this volume.
HCSCS documents the stories about conducting and writing about human communication research emanating from interviews with participating postgraduate and established academic researchers with informed consent. For persons in the Caribbean, the social and cultural context, and the variety of settings for these studies and subthemes contribute to the development of a more inclusive knowledge base. This base incorporates a body of literature that draws upon Caribbean and Global South experiences for comparison with the traditional Western, Eastern, and wider global literature in the selected top themes. It diversifies traditional knowledge sources.
This book addresses the need to document the knowledge and stories about conducting and writing about human communication studies in the Caribbean. It builds on the first part of the Reference Database of Human Communication Caribbean Scholarship Project which created a database of published and unpublished research in the human communication studies field. It complements my book Communication, Culture, & Conflict (G.A. Steele, 2021) by taking readers behind the scenes to explore, understand, and interrogate the stories about conducting and writing about human communication research experiences. HCSCS links to the third part of the project, my new documentary film, Communication Connects (G.A. Steele, forthcoming), featuring thematic interviews with graduates and experienced academics, and overview, summaries, and commentaries.
