Content

The magazine published material in multiple languages reflecting its objectives of forging links between Caribbean states in anticipation of a political union, and of a broad cultural interchange between the Caribbean and Central America. Content included fiction, poetry, and non-fiction historical and ethnographic material.

Criticism

''The West Indian Review'' did not always fit with the prevailing nationalist sentiment in other Jamaican literature and has been described by Carl Wade as "on the wrong side of history where matters of national development were concerned".https://theses.ncl.ac.uk/jspui/.../Irving%2C%20C.C.%202016%20%2812mth%29.pdf
