''Savacou'' was a journal of literature, new writing and ideas founded in 1970〔Alison Donnell, ''Twentieth-Century Caribbean Literature: Critical Moments in Anglophone Literary History'', Routledge, 2007, p. 27.〕 as a small co-operative venture, led by Edward Kamau Brathwaite, on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. Characterised as "groundbreaking" by Alison Donnell,〔Donnell, ''Twentieth-Century Caribbean Literature'' (2007), p. 18.〕 ''Savacou'' grew out of The Caribbean Artists Movement of the 1960s, which was mostly concerned with Caribbean artistic production and with consolidating a broad artistic alliance between all "Third World" peoples. It took its name from the bird-god in Carib mythology who controlled thunder and strong winds. Issue 1 of ''Savacou'' was published in June 1970, edited by Brathwaite, Kenneth Ramchand and Andrew Salkey.〔(Journals - Out of Print ), Savacou Publications. Retrieved 7 April 2012.〕 Its advisory committee included John La Rose, Lloyd King, Gordon Rohlehr, Orlando Patterson, Sylvia Wynter, Paule Marshall and Wilfred Cartey, and among its early contributors were C. L. R. James, Michael Anthony, Derek Walcott, George Lamming, Martin Carter and John Figueroa.〔Jenny Stringer (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Literature in English'', 1996.〕 The journal was the subject of regional controversy in 1970, with the double issue 3/4, "New Writing 1970: An anthology of poetry and verse". Featuring oral-based poetics, performance poetry and Creole verse, the issue questioned traditional divisions between words and music, literature and street culture, textuality and orality, antagonizing standard literary formats and in turn provoking major debates and discussions in Caribbean literary circles.〔Baugh, Edward. "A History of Poetry", in ''A History of Literature in the Caribbean''. Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2001.〕 Between 1970 and 1979, fifteen issues of ''Savacou'' were published. The journal ceased publication in 1980 with issue 15. The name Savacou also appears as a publishing imprint.〔Michael Hughes, ''A Companion to West Indian Literature'', Collins, 1979, p. 115.〕 ''This article uses text from the (Chimurengal Library ) under the GFDL'' ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Savacou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
