Hogan: Cultural Creolization, Optimism, and National Identity in <em>Pao</em> While scholars have long considered Caribbean nations as mixed, blended, and multicultural societies, acknowledging the role of many different ethnic, national, and racial groups in the formation and ongoing lives of these societies, the Chinese Caribbean community has received comparatively less attention than the Afro- or Indo-Caribbean ones. Yet many Caribbean countries experienced significant Chinese migration. Beginning in the nineteenth century and through the twentieth century, thriving Chinese communities could be found in Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad, and other islands. The Chinese Jamaican community was both representative and unique: arriving in Jamaica at the end of the 1800s, Chinese immigrants established prosperous shops and other businesses throughout the island.

  • Examining Race in Jamaica: How Racial Category and Skin Color Structure Social Inequality
    Race and Social Problems https://doi.org/10.1007/s12552-020-09287-z Examining Race in Jamaica: How Racial Category and Skin Color Structure Social Inequality Monique D. A. Kelly1 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Jamaica’s social inequality is primarily held to be class-based due, in part, to the country’s perceived ethno-racial homoge- neity and to the particularities of its colonial past. However, whether “race” also systemically shapes inequality in Jamaica remains understudied. To address this empirical lacuna, I examine the efects of two measures of race—categorical race and skin color—on years of schooling and household amenities using data from the 2014 AmericasBarometer social survey. I fnd that access to household amenities and years of schooling are starkly structured by racial category, and even more robustly by skin color, across all dimensions. The fndings challenge long-held assumptions that marginalize race with regards to social inequality in Jamaica. They also suggest the importance of a multidimensional approach to studying the efects of race for understanding stratifcation dynamics in Jamaica. As an English-speaking, majority Afro-descent society in the Caribbean, the study’s fndings add a unique country case for comparison to Latin America and may also speak to other similar contexts in the region. Keywords Race · Skin color · Social inequality · Caribbean · Jamaica Inequality in the Anglo-Caribbean country of Jamaica is [We] are made up of…predominantly Negro or of substantial: about 20% of the population lives below the mixed blood, but also with large numbers of others, poverty line, while three-ffths of the country’s wealth is and nowhere in the world has more progress been held by only 10% of its population (World Bank 2013).

  • Chinese-Jamaican Women and Nationalist Aesthetics
    Amrita Bandopadhyay: Romancing Jamaica: Chinese-Jamaican Women and Nationalist Aesthetics ! Romancing Jamaica: Chinese-Jamaican Women and Nationalist Aesthetics Amrita Bandopadhyay PhD candidate in English University of Florida, Gainesville, USA 245 https://sta.uwi.edu/crgs/index.asp UWI IGDS CRGS Issue 12 ISSN 1995-1108 Abstract: My article examines depictions of Chinese women in Victor Chang’s stories (“A Summer’s Tale,” “Light in the Shop” and “Mr. Chin’s Property”), Kerry Young’s novel, Pao (2011), and Herbert de Lisser’s cultural and literary interwar magazine Planters’ Punch (1922-45) to argue that racial and socio-economic battles in colonial and post-independence Jamaica were waged on Chinese women. In official accounts of Jamaican history and culture, Chinese women are largely invisible and their significance has been set into relief by the works of Chinese-Caribbean writers like Kerry Young and Victor Chang. An important exception was the presence of Chinese women in Planters’ Punch, where de Lisser fashioned Chinese women as part of the myth of Jamaica as a lush tourist spot, thereby promoting the interests of the country’s multiethnic business class. Chang and Young contest this myth through inclusive fictional narratives that address racial and sexual violence wreaked upon Chinese women.

The Simmelian adventure recognizes that the very process of synthesizing life events draws attention to the disconnections and disruptions—what Simmel defines as “dualities”—that Simmel concludes are characteristic of modern identities. The Chinese Jamaican narratives in this study display the dualities of the adventures as posited by Simmel and as such, reconfirm the understanding of the Caribbean as a site of modernity and recog- nize both the experiences and contributions of a minority group in this region as being significant for our understanding of modern diasporic identities in general and, more specifically, in the Caribbean.
