  • CPI Welcomes the Summer 2020 Special Issue Influenced by Maya Angelou’S Poem: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”
    i CPI Welcomes the Summer 2020 Special Issue Influenced by Maya Angelou’s Poem: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” In this CPI Special Issue (Vol. 12, No.1), invited Guest Editors, Cecille DePass, Enid Lee, Alleson Mason, and Sonia Aujla-Bhullar have collaborated to produce the largest CPI issue, to date. Very much like a migratory bird in flight, the issue crosses man-made and natural borders between the north and south. In doing so, the readers will note that the issue’s catchment area is quite vast. The issue includes voices of more than 30 contributors who live in Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, as well as a refugee camp in Kenya. It is important to note, too, that some contributors are originally from or live in the Caribbean. As anticipated, most of the contributors speak (in different voices and different ways) to key concepts of oppression and freedom identified in Maya Angelou’s (1993/1983) poem: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”. In the Introduction, Cecille DePass explains the issue’s context and evolution. To quote Ali Abdi, Co-founder of CPI, the current and recent issues exemplify the spirit within which they brainstormed CPI, many years ago (personal communication). Divided into four major parts, The First Part ranges widely. It explores central issues, problems and complexities associated with culture and identity within the larger contexts of the enduring legacies of colonization. The Second Part analyzes key aspects of the links between pedagogy, the lived curriculum, the uses and abuses of power, and the impacts on the life chances of racialized people.
