The network focuses on an exchange of research on both the large and small Anglophone Caribbean islands, primarily those which were or are colonies of Britain. In this network, culture is defined in its broadest sense and includes history, language, literature, folklore, festivals, popular dramatic performances, dance and music, games, professional theater, and cinema. The network will also facilitate the development of the Encyclopedia of Caribbean Island Culture, that will be edited by Profs. Joan M. Fayer, Joan F. McMurray and Peter A. Roberts. In addition, it will sponsor workshops which will bring together cultural practitioners and academics for roundtable discussions of culture in the Anglophone Caribbean and will be one of the sponsors of the Islands in Between Conference: Language, Literature & Cultures of the Eastern Caribbean. The network is partially funded by the Proyecto Atlantea.
