New West Indian Guide / Nieuwe West-Indische Gids

The New West Indian Guide is the oldest scholarly journal on the Caribbean.
It presents English-language articles in the fields of anthropology, art, archaeology, economics, geography, geology, history, international relations, linguistics, literature, music, political science and sociology.
It includes the world’s most complete review section on Caribbean books, covering some 150 books each year.
Published continuously since 1919.

NWIG is a peer reviewed journal and regularly publishes contributions by authors in Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, England, Germany, Guyana, the Netherlands, Suriname, the United States, and Venezuela, as well as every part of the insular Caribbean.
The total number of pages of virtually each NWIG volume exceeds 300 pages and is issued in December and July without fail due to a rigorously respected deadline.

The back issues 1919-1981 are under construction.
You may not be able to find all information in good order, but we hope you will appreciate our effort to publish these issues while still working at improving them.

It is NOT necessary to register for just viewing the articles published in the journals on this site. However, we encourage readers to sign up for the publishing notification service for each of the journals.
