Del Caribe Issue No. 60, directed by León Estrada, features cover artwork by Santiago artist Gilberto Martínez, specifically his paintings "El Nieto II" (The Grandson II) and "Resistencia 2" (Resistance 2). The cover presents a powerful portrait of an elderly Black man wearing a red headwrap, with a white beard and dark skin, positioned against a cityscape backdrop with harbor views. The composition includes symbolic elements in the lower portion—white birds and religious iconography—creating a layered narrative about Afro-Cuban identity, spirituality, and urban life. The painting's rich color palette of blues, browns, and earth tones, combined with its incorporation of both portraiture and symbolic imagery, reflects the issue's central theme: "Negro sobre Negro en la plástica cubana" (Black on Black in Cuban visual arts).
The magazine's editorial board included founder Joel James Figarola (deceased), with Olga Portuondo Zúñiga, Hebert Pérez Concepción, Julio Corbea Calzado, Aida Bahr, Carlos Rafael Fleitas Salazar, Kenia Dorta Armaignac, and Orlando Vergés Martínez. Contributors included Carlos Lloga Domínguez, Irina de la Guardia Rondón, and Centro Provincial del Libro y la Literatura, with composition by Raimiz Destrades Martínez. This issue features María Elena Orozco Melgar's extensive article on Gilberto Martínez's work, alongside studies on environmental culture in the Greater Caribbean, Haitian immigrants in Cuba's coffee industry (1900-1940), inherited religions from Central Africa in the Jamaican context, Marcus Garvey and UNIA, and British colonial subjects in Cuba. The magazine continues its mission of documenting Caribbean cultural history and Afro-Caribbean artistic and intellectual contributions.
