Theme: Reparations: Resistance, Resilience, Reproduction, and Rehabilitation
Dates: 1 June – 7 June, 2025

Location: St. Martin

BOOK EXHIBIT and ADVERTISEMENT
CALL FOR REGISTRATION

The Caribbean Studies Association (CSA) invites publishers to exhibit recent or classic publications of books, journals, handbooks and other materials at its annual “book fair” of the 49th academic meeting, to be held between the 1st and the 7th of June 2025 in the premises of Simpson Bay Resort. This call is addressed to publishers and any other companies whose services encompass the Greater Caribbean to display/sell books during the conference and/or advertise products and services on the CSA website.

A large cross-section of approximately 400-plus of the Association’s 1000-plus members look forward every year to the Book Exhibit space on the conference site and interact with publishers. This is where we find out what new publications in our fields reflect our interests, select books for course adoption, explore new research, and get the chance to interact with the publishers and authors in person. We appreciate your commitment to continue publishing books in or about the Caribbean region.

Given the multilingual and interdisciplinary nature of the Association, the annual Book Exhibit also presents CSA members (including scholars, academics, graduate students, creative artists, activists, practitioners, writers, and allied professionals) with a grand opportunity to browse and purchase books outside of their specific disciplines and languages. In this regard, we especially welcome, and therefore encourage, the registration and participation of publishers with books and journals published in English, French, Spanish, Papiamento, Dutch, Portuguese, and any creole languages representative of our Greater Caribbean.

We look forward to your participation in this CSA 2025 Book Exhibit as an important contribution to the rich scholarly and linguistic diversity across the Caribbean. This year, the CSA conference happily coincides with the St. Martin Book Fair.

PHYSICAL DISPLAY/SALES & ADVERTISING ON THE CSA WEBSITE

We encourage you to consider subscribing to any of the CSA advertising options. Please, see the table below for more information. At your earliest convenience, plan accordingly and begin today the process with your company to exhibit your books, journals, and other material.

The CSA 2025 Book Exhibition provides an exceptional opportunity to share recent publications with book lovers for five (5) days. To display your books, you are not required to be registered for the conference. However, we do encourage publishers to also consider registering for the conference as this would allow you to attend conference panels, plenaries and other activities during the entire week. We also hope that you will participate in the CSA Literary Salon, the Author Celebration and the closing ceremony which includes awards and recognitions.
