  • El Dorado: the New Quest for Caribbean Unity
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: EL DORADO: THE NEW QUEST FOR CARIBBEAN UNITY Tanya Liesel Shields, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Directed By: Professor Merle Collins, Comparative Literature Program El Dorado the gilded man or golden city has always signified the deferred and colonial quest for a New World paradise. It has led explorers, conquistadors, and those they enslaved on fabulous journeys of misinterpretation and trickery. Global reconfigurations in politics, culture and economics generated by globalization on the physical and psychological infrastructures of poor places, has the Caribbean searching for a redefined El Dorado. Through the medium of literature, this new El Dorado has the potential to fulfill the promise of Caribbean unity, inherent in its geography and history, by subsuming national interests to regional ones. This dissertation fuses the concerns of globalization, postmodernism and citizenship into the Amerindian Postmodern, a term coined by me, and a framing, largely influenced by the philosophical work of Wilson Harris. I argue that using an Amerindian postmodernist approach in regional literature allows a crossing of linguistic, geographic, nationalistic, and economic barriers not addressed by political attempts at integration. Art, as a mediator, has the power to shift consciousness and its political power is demonstrated in various liberation struggles and by governmental attempts to repress and restrict how art is created and used. Art culls fact from fiction and desire from apathy, whether the authors’ are deliberately part of the process or not. The Introduction and Chapter One articulate and illustrate Amerindian postmodernism at its most theoretical. These chapters outline the basic tenets of this idea for ex ploring questions of identity and resource sharing.

I met Erika in the spring of 1971; received permission on th Walter on Llanfair set in 1972. October 7 of that same year to start her fan club, That is Eugenia's portrait over the mantle. Erika’s World Staff and officially launched the fan club in January of 1972. Honorary President Erika Slezak At this point, it’s not worth echoing my anger at the network, because I highly doubt that anything will change. I feel for all of those in front and behind the President & Publisher Walter Miller, Jr. camera, who will lose their jobs. Everyone on the show has worked so hard and has brought such passion bringing Llanview into our homes for the past 43 Editor years. And while Erika IS the heart of OLTL, Frank Valentini is certainly the AJ heart behind-the-scenes. I am grateful that we still have seven months of Assistant Editor storytelling. I think it gives Ron Carlivati and his team a decent amount of time to Kathryn [Kit] Williams bring the show to an ending that its faithful fans deserve.
