Callaloo Literary Journal

Dr. Charles H. Rowell founded Callaloo in 1976 at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. With its emphasis on critical studies of the arts and humanities, as well as creative writing, Callaloo has emerged as the most essential and continuously published journal in matters pertinent to African American and African Diaspora Studies worldwide. It has been a vital and much-anticipated source of information and lively conversation among both established and emerging scholars and creative writers. Through careful editing, the journal has remained accessible to the discerning general reader.
