This relatively new concept will allow the reader to make his choice without reading influences (advertising or other). Concept that will transform the literary explorer.
Why this project?
In rare French Caribbean are the authors, designers, writers, poets have seen their works border crossings. Among those who have seen their work set foot on other crops are: Edouard Glissant (September 21, 1928 – February 3, 2011 / Martinique), Aimé Césaire (June 26, 1913 – April 17, 2008 / Martinique), Frantz Fanon ( July 26, 1925 – December 6, 1961 / Martinique), Maryse Condé (Guadeloupe), Edwidge Danticat (Haiti), Gary Victor (Haiti), Franck Etienne (Haiti), Lionel Trouillot (Haiti), James Christmas (Haiti), Emmelie Prophet ( Haiti), Dany Laferrière (Haiti-Canada). Yet men and women of letters, in the French speaking Caribbean there are hundreds or thousands that despite increased lack of visibility, daily produce new works in the hope that one day the recognition will reward their efforts.
The appearance of the internet should be a lifesaver for both producers of literary works for the houses of caraïbéennes editions. Giving one to another as a way to rediscover, to seek new readers and establish a web presence that would benefit them, instead of suffering, almost all internet effects.
Bookitas, as an area of dissemination of literary works will allow publishers Caribbean to have a space on the web where the literary productions of the authors will be exhibited in a public hitherto inaccessible.
