Journal Description

Sargasso, a peer-reviewed journal of literature, language, and culture edited at the University of Puerto Rico, features critical essays, interviews, book reviews, and some poems and short stories. Published from the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras for more than twenty years, Sargasso is affiliated with the Ph.D. program in Caribbean Literature and Linguistics in the Department of English of the College of Humanities. Two issues and an occasional special issue of the journal are produced each academic year.

Sargasso particularly welcomes material written by and about the people of the Caribbean region and its multiple diasporas. Essays and critical studies should conform to the style of the MLA Handbook unless the editors specify otherwise. Short stories should be kept to no more than 2,500 words in length, and poems should be kept to thirty lines or less. The recommended length for book reviews is 1,000-1,5000 words. Potential contributors should note that recent volumes of the journal have been organized around specific themes.
