James; Novelist Wilson Harris of Guyana; African-American novelist and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison; The painter Arnaldo Roche-Rabell of Puerto Rico; The Australian artist Gordon Bennett; The Haitian-Puerto Rican-American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat; Plus a look at popular ""world musics"" from around the globe.
