[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”25 Anni. text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Throughout our Caribbean Region economic activity is to a large extent externally propelled. Investment initiates from outside and the collective investors are elsewhere: tourism, insurance, banking are some of the major pinnacles of authority which determine what choices we make in exercising control over our daily lives. The Governments may govern; but they do not rule. It is against this background of an imagined sovereignty and an enforced dependence that we must measure the audacity \u2014 and there is no other word for what I mean \u2014 the audacity of those who initiated from within the adventure of House of Nehesi Publishers. Such boldness of enterprise in the area of publishing can easily collapse in five months; so the 25th anniversary of Nehesi can arguably be celebrated as though it were the 50th. And the evidence of the distinguished volumes it has produced is so abundant that the founders and their supporters are entitled to invent their own calendar for this purpose. Year 25 should be accorded the applause due a 50th anniversary in recognition of Nehesi\u2019s capacity for digging deep in their indigenous human resource, and surviving the perils of waiting for some external force to determine your own agenda. We celebrate House of Nehesi as a symbol of what it could mean to achieve a genuine sovereignty of the imagination.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”New Books Banner” src=”http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/bookfair\/BF14Poster15x12_new.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”left” url=”http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/bookfair\/BF14bookPoster.pdf” \/][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” color=”#cccccc” show_divider=”on” \/][et_pb_image admin_label=”in every home” src=”http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/bookfair\/hnpeveryhome_sm.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”left” url=”http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/ads\/hnpeveryhome.pdf” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”the frock banner” src=”http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/ads\/thefrock.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”left” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”fete banner” src=”http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/ads\/fete_28726.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”left” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”title” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”] The audacity of the adventure of House of Nehesi Publishers By George Lamming [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”25 Anni. text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”] Editor\u2019s Note: World-renown Barbadian novelist\/scholar George Lamming recently congratulated House of Nehesi Publishers on […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-418","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/418\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1368,"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/418\/revisions\/1368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/houseofnehesipublish.com\/sxm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nThe audacity of the adventure of House of Nehesi Publishers<\/strong><\/span>
\nBy George Lamming<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.houseofnehesipublish.com\/images\/lammingcarifesta95.jpg\")
<\/strong><\/span>Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong><\/span> World-renown Barbadian novelist\/scholar George Lamming recently congratulated House of Nehesi Publishers on its 25th anniversary in 2007. By May of its anniversary year, the small press outfit had already released nine anniversary-year publications. The St. Martin publisher with a Caribbean-wide outreach has also managed to publish a list of literati from within and beyond the region, including Dr. Lamming, that belies its size and admitted limited resources.<\/span><\/p>\n
