Del Caribe Issue No. 34, directed by Joel James Figarola with Jorge Luis Hernández as editorial chief and Asela Suárez as editor, was published by Casa del Caribe in Santiago de Cuba in 2001. The cover features artwork by Luis Joaquín Rodríguez Arias titled "El guajiro," depicting a rural Cuban scene that reflects the magazine's interest in vernacular culture and everyday life in the Caribbean. The magazine's editorial board included Jesús Cos Causse, Ricardo Repilado, José Miller, Olga Portuondo Zúñiga, and Julio Corbea Calzado, with collaborators Teresa Melo and Yordanka Morciego.
This issue addresses major themes in Caribbean cultural studies, particularly focusing on Afro-Cuban religious practices (babalaos and oriafés) and women's studies, as indicated by the cover text "Babalaos y oriafés, 65 / De la mujer, 87, 75, 45." Contents include Hernán Venegas Delgado on challenges to regional and local historiography in Latin America, Joaquín Roberto González Martínez on historiography and space in regional studies from the mid-20th century, Joel James Figarola on popular history and culture, and multiple articles examining women's roles in Cuban society including studies on divorce and family conflicts in 19th-century Santiago de Cuba, women and Lucumí religious culture, and the cultural identity of enslaved Africans. Del Caribe serves as an important platform for scholarly research on Caribbean history, Afro-Caribbean religious traditions, and social history, with particular focus on the eastern region of Cuba and its connections to the broader Caribbean world.
