The LOUDREADER is a new digital and print journal published bi-annually by Loudreaders Trade School. In the form of an antidisciplinary and multilingual publication, The LOUDREADER considers the Caribbean’s geopolitical, linguistic, historical pluriversality as it documents, disseminates, and thinks collectively about the future of social and ecological justice, reparations, repatriations, reconstructions, while accounting for incompatibilities, contradictions, ironies, and strategies of subversion and reinvention. The LOUDREADER imagines the “becoming Caribbean of the world,” as the brutality of extraction and exploitation, that was the blueprint of the plantation (and its economies), has spilled out onto the rest of the world like organic matter.






El LOUDREADER es una nueva revista, disponible tanto en formato digital como impreso, que publica anualmente la Escuela Vocacional Loudreaders. Como publicación interdisciplinaria y multilingüe, LOUDREADER aborda la pluriculturalidad geopolítica, lingüística e histórica del Caribe, documentando, difundiendo y reflexionando colectivamente sobre el futuro de la justicia social y ecológica, las reparaciones, las repatriaciones y la reconstrucción, teniendo en cuenta las incompatibilidades, las contradicciones, las ironías y las estrategias de subversión y reinvención. LOUDREADER imagina la influencia del Caribe en el mundo, ya que la brutalidad de la explotación y la extracción, características de la economía de las plantaciones, se ha extendido al resto del mundo como un fenómeno omnipresente.
