Arara 1999-2004

Arara began as an online journal in 1999 with 7 editions being published up until 2004. The founding editors were Marcia Bonnet, Joanne Harwood, Adrian Locke and Charles Swainston, then postgraduate students at Essex. Later editors included Maria Clara Bernal, Isobel Whitelegg and Cristiana Bertazoni Martins.

Following a 6-year hiatus the decision was taken to relaunch Arara with a new website, so it could once again provide publishing opportunites and renew access to the journal's earlier editions. The complete Arara archive for 1999-2004 is now available through this site.
