  • A Dub Approach to Defining a Caribbean Literary Identity in the Contemporary Diaspora

    A Dub Approach to Defining a Caribbean Literary Identity in the Contemporary Diaspora

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ON THE B-SIDE: A DUB APPROACH TO DEFINING A CARIBBEAN LITERARY IDENTITY IN THE CONTEMPORARY DIASPORA Isis N. Semaj, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed by: Professor Merle Collins, Department of English Drawing from Jamaica’s socio-politically distinct dub musical genre, “On the B: Side” argues that the literary aesthetics of Caribbean migration and history can be analyzed according to a model of dub. As I define it, the dub aesthetic is marked by erasures, repairs, re-invention, and re-creation. It is thematically and formally captured in migration and represented in the experience of dislocation and home(lessness), memory and the layering of time, political silences and cultural amplification, and the distinct social climate associated with the 21st century push toward celebrating diasporic communities and marking progress through globalization. Given these contemporary circumstances, the Caribbean subject at home locally and at home in the diaspora necessarily demonstrates an acute investment in memory recall and a strong motivation toward building cultural posterity. This dissertation, therefore, explicates how the more recent literature reaches back in new ways that facilitate the survival of a uniquely Caribbean literary identity into the future. This dissertation analyzes works by Ramabai Espinet, Edwidge Danticat, and Anthony Winkler to highlight the ways in which relocation and dislocation intersect for the Caribbean subject. Additionally, I examine works by Marion Patrick Jones and Diana McCaulay, who represent another category of unbelonging and homelessness in the Caribbean that is read in the middle class’s exclusion from national and regional discourse on authenticity. Interrogating the space of Caribbean fiction, the dissertation moves through the deconstruction and reinvention of migration to arrive at the diasporic intersections of erasure, rupture, and repair.
  • India-Trinidad and Tobago Relations Historical Perspective

    India-Trinidad and Tobago Relations Historical Perspective

    India-Trinidad and Tobago Relations Historical Perspective: The relationship between India and Trinidad & Tobago started on 30 May 1845 when the first ship ‘Fatel Razack’ carrying 225 adult Indians reached the shores of Trinidad, then a British colony. Their numbers increased with subsequent arrival of more ships from India. The descendents of those indentured workers, now in their fifth generation, form nearly 42% of the population are an integral part of the economic, political and social fabric of the country. The presence of a substantial population of Indian origin (the largest ethnic group) has contributed greatly to bilateral relations between the two countries. Visit of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to India in January 2012: Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar paid a State visit to India from 5-14 January 2012. PMKPB was accompanied by a high level delegation comprising 7 Cabinet Ministers and a 160-member strong delegation from the private and public sectors besides representatives from tertiary institutions and PSUs. During the visit a number of agreements and MOUs were signed. These included the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA); a Technical Cooperation Agreement (on Education), Programme of Cultural Exchanges (for the years 2012-2014); MoU on co-operation in the field of Traditional Medicine and for setting up a Chair of Ayurveda in the University of West Indies. She was also Chief Guest at PBD 2012 in Jaipur and was conferred with the PBSA. Visit of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to Trinidad & Tobago: Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh led a high level delegation for CHOGM Summit in November 2009.

    INT-1762 íI 4 ) THE CARIBBEAN QUEST: 2 O j DIRECTIONS FOR THE REFORM PROCESS 25-26 June 1997 Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago INFORMATION PAPER United Nations Economic Commission for Latín America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Association of Caribbean States (ACS) i i i < i i THE CARIBBEAN QUEST: DIRECTIONS FOR THE REFORM PROCESS Rationale for the conference The pace of political and economic change is accelerating rapidly, globally and within the Caribbean región. The early reform process of the 1980s and 1990s is now being deepened and widened and will give rise to a 'second wave' in public policy management. New solutions are being formulated to meet the rising challenges in the business of development and changes in the political economy of Caribbean societies. In times of great change, leaders need an understanding of the current situation, a clear visión of the future, and the ability to think strategically, negotiate effectively, and consider long-term consequences of particular courses of action. Policy makers and government managers need the technical skills to promote policy change and the resolve to see it happen, while executives of public interest organizations need to be knowledgeable about policy choices and adopt innovative approaches in response to paradigm shifts in social and economic thinking, and create institutions and instruments for the governance process. The "imperatives of adjustment" provided the policy rationale for the 1980s and 90s. The manifestation of present and fiiture objectives requires the development of a strategic programme of action to ensure that the external and internal components of economic development strategies can be integrated into a continuing platform for change.

On February 26th 1970, when the NJAC stormed the Roman Catholic Church following a protest outside a Canadian bank, they were a small organisation in confl ict with the state. It is the sharpness of the confl ict centred around support for black students in Canada, which drew thousands into a social movement and hundreds to the membership of NJAC.
