House of Nehesi Publishers in Something Directory

 

House of Nehesi Publishers Foundation is a multimedia publishing and communication consultant and development company. The book publishing division was founded in 1982 in New York, USA. The foundation was established in 1986 in Philipsburg, St. Martin, Caribbean, as a non-profit/non-governmental organization (NGO) and is registered at the Chamber of Commerce & Industry. For over 20 years, House of Nehesi Publishers has been a leading organizer and promoter of reading, writing, publishing, and literary criticism and research in St. Martin. The company’s essential objective is the critical development of the “national literature” of St. Martin (North and South) as a natural part of the dynamic, world-class literatures of the Caribbean. The Foundation’s primary activity is the publishing of books for the adult/general readership and for the research/academic, scholastic, and children “markets.” Subject areas include, but are not limited to literature, education, history, biography, tourism, and entertainment. Compounding activities include sponsoring and judging of children’s poetry, essay, and photo contests; coordinating educational/historical fora (i.e. the Marcus Garvey Centennial forum/awards ceremony with the Philipsburg Jubilee Library and Idile Foundation, the 1994 visit/workshop/lecture by the scholar George Lamming, and the 1994 constitutional pre-Referendum fora); co-directing the “Traditions” theater festivals during the 1980s with the St. Maarten Council on the Arts; directing and co-sponsoring cultural manifestations for the Youth Explorers (teenage drama group); co-sponsoring the school vacation “In Session with the Youth” motivational workshops (2001) and the annual St. Martin Book Fair with Conscious Lyrics; organizing the Creative Writing Program (2003), the first traditional carnival Boardwalk Mas (2005), art exhibitions, visiting writers programs, socio-educational forums, reading/writing stimulation programs and “book parties” and other promotional activities for books published by House of Nehesi Publishers.
