The world is in perpetual election mode. The UK and the USA are prime examples of this, and Europe is not far behind. Venezuela is in turmoil. We knew that for a long time; but now the peo- ple have risen up and a “new” leader has been declared, but without an election. President Maduro himself was elected unopposed as his was the only person who contested the last elections. The way the world has aligned itself in response to the crisis there should not surprise anyone, LARGE including that of CARICOM which gave its usual lukewarm response. St Kitts and Nevis hasn’t quite settled down either. And it isn’t just because of the Local elections that intersperse the Federal ones, nor is it only because of the court case between the people and the former FORMAT Supervisor of elections. The atmosphere is heating up because the time is drawing near for the elections, the 9th such since independence.

  • The Secessionist Impulse in Nevis In
    D. Midgett Pepper and bones: the secessionist impulse in Nevis In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 78 (2004), no: 1/2, Leiden, 43-71 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/30/2021 10:39:29AM via free access DOUGLAS MIDGETT PEPPER AND BONES: THE SECESSIONIST IMPULSE IN NEVIS INTRODUCTION The emergence of the often twinned issues of "globalization" and "nation- alization" in ethnographic discourse obscures, with new terminology, the fact that for some anthropologists these processes have been central to their work for a considerable period of time.1 For those whose academie interest has focused on the Caribbean region and who. attempt some sense of the historical determinants of these social formations, the current "discovery" of the importance of global forces in the lives of ordinary folks in locales removed from centers of industry, commerce, and intellectual production may be somewhat puzzling. There is a certain temptation to respond to this flurry of interest with the question, "so what's new?" Likewise, in a region whose history is one of subjugated identities, repeated instances of resistance on the part of the powerless, and in many cases, only recent attempts at chart- ing directions involving national sovereignty, issues of identity, community, peoplehood, and nationality have routinely received much attention. The reception that has been accorded Benedict Anderson's book, Imagined Communities (1991), has animated much inquiry into the nature of national sentiments and the direction of nationalist impulses. In this enter- prise, Anderson's book has stimulated much useful analysis.

  • Clw Lecture 23-2-17
    HISTORY & HERITAGE WEEK LECTURE – 23rd FEBRUARY 2017 I am honoured by the invitation of UWI Open Campus to deliver this lecture as part of History & Heritage Week which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the attainment of Associated Statehood by St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla on 27th February 1967. History and Heritage Week is held to focus the attention of the community on the importance of its history and heritage to the life and development of our country and its people. We all know the very wise saying that a nation that forgets its past has no future. We should be ever conscious of our history, ancient and modern, we should be recording it for posterity and teaching it to our youth. We are not doing very well at that. I urge UWI, the Heritage Society, the Brimstone Hill Society, the CFB College and the business community to knock heads together urgently to rectify this societal deficiency. I owe my love of history to two great teachers. The first is Sir Probyn Inniss to whom I pay tribute this evening as a patriot of the highest order and an example to be followed in his humble and dignified contribution to our society in so many ways- as a teacher, a Civil Servant, a Governor, a man of the Church, a historian, a lawyer and a leader of Brimstone Hill Society and other heritage causes. The second outstanding history teacher who influenced me greatly was Mr. J.B.C Haynes of blessed memory who made history an enthralling subject and whose command of the language was brilliant.
