In the inaugural edition of The Long Wave, the author highlights the newsletter's role as a meeting point for the Black diaspora. This week, Caribbean correspondent Natricia Duncan shared insights on Trinidad and Tobago's carnival. The edition also covers pressing issues such as the M23 rebels' threats in the DRC, Guyana's military response to Venezuelan aggression, and a reflection on the erosion of civil rights progress under Trump’s reversal of diversity initiatives. Additionally, it celebrates the literary revival with Adichie's first novel in 12 years, reflecting her influence on West African storytelling.
This newsletter has become a cherished space for connecting with the Black diaspora, particularly highlighted through conversations about cultural events like Trinidad and Tobago's carnival.
The recent surge of M23 rebels in the DRC has not only resulted in civilian casualties but also escalates concerns about a broader regional conflict.
The military response from Guyana against a Venezuelan incursion exemplifies the growing tensions over territorial disputes in South America, complicating relations between the two nations.
The rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion programs by Donald Trump has resonated deeply with civil rights activists, who see it as a regression in racial progress.
