Zusammenfassung:In a speech delivered at the Callaloo Thirtieth Anniversary Celebration in Baton Rouge, LA on August 18, 2007, Hamilton talks about the literary and artistic career of a remarkable man, his friend and mentor Charles Henry Rowell. He asserts that there is no other journal of African-American Diaspora arts and letters in the United States that is publishing today has enjoyed thirty years of continuous publication under the leadership of a single individual. Moreover, he describes that scholars today theorize a global South, one that encompasses the entire Atlantic world while also stretching from the Mason-Dixon Line west to California, south to Brazil. But Rowell had this vision for Callaloo--and achieved it--decades before the current theoretical vogue began to gather steam.
