RASK, Paul -
Dominica, uitg.: Bradt Travel Guides (4e ed. nov.2023),
ISBN 9781804691021, paperback, 248 blz., €24,90
Packed with the detailed local knowledge of author Paul Crask, a long-term resident, Bradt’s Dominica remains the only up-to-date standalone guide to this Caribbean island. In this new, thoroughly updated fourth edition, a range of accommodation and dining options are described in depth, guide and tour-operator listings are extensive, and 19 detailed maps help orientation. Taking an environmentally conscious and socially responsible approach to travel, the author couples essential advice on activities and practicalities with rich insights into the country’s natural environment, history and culture – including the Kalinago, the last of the region’s indigenous Amerindian people, whose descendants continue to live here today.
Formerly considered an undeveloped Caribbean backwater, English-speaking Dominica is an increasingly favoured tourist destination. The government has invested significantly in island infrastructure following damage caused by extreme weather events in 2015 and 2017, and upmarket boutique hotels are opening. Despite such rising popularity, Dominica remains a place of unbridled, off-the-beaten-path adventure and discovery. This island of mountains, unspoiled rainforests, volcanoes, rivers and waterfalls has much to enchant a variety of travellers.
Explore Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a World Heritage Site housing a network of trails that traverse rainforest-covered mountains and connect rivers, waterfalls and the Boiling Lake, a flooded fumarole that is the world’s second-largest hot-water lake. Ardent hikers craving further exploration can walk sections of the Wai’tukubuli National Trail or make for national parks such as Cabrits and Morne Diablotin. Wildlife-watchers can seek out rare parrots found nowhere else on Earth, the mountain chicken (actually one of the world’s largest frogs) or even a boa constrictor that is the subject of Kalinago legends

ROKKEN, Jan -
Het eiland van Jean Rhys: Een reis naar de bron van haar schrijverschap, uitg.: Atlas Contact (sep.2020),
ISBN 9789045041377, paperback, 144 blz., €18,99
'Het eiland van Jean Rhys' is het levendige, gelaagde verslag van een zoektocht naar de wortels van een roman die diepe indruk maakte op Jan Brokken: De wijde Sargassozee van Jean Rhys (1890-1979). Brokken bezocht het Caribische eiland Dominica waar Rhys haar jeugd doorbracht en raakte steeds meer in de ban van de roman die gezien wordt als haar meesterwerk. Hij onderzoekt de achtergronden, de liefdesaffaires, raciale conflicten, de slavenopstanden en de verwoesting van familieplantage Geneva. Uit gesprekken met inwoners en bezoeken ter plaatse ontvouwt zich langzaam maar zeker een indringend beeld van het eiland, van Jean Rhys en de bronnen van haar schrijverschap.
