  • For Mr Biswas and the Mimic Men
    Appendix A Naipaul's Family, A House for Mr Biswas and The Mimic Men As Naipaul dislikes writing about the unfamiliar his fiction makes imaginative use of actual people and events. His sources are useful to understand the autobiographical implications of the novels. His father Seepersad (b. 1906) is the model for Mr Biswas. Mter Seepersad's father died when he was six years old, Seepersad and his impoverished mother became dependent on his mother's sis­ ter (the novel's Tara) and her wealthy husband (Ajodha) who owned rum shops, taxis and other businesses. Mter some school­ ing Seepersad became a sign-painter; he painted a sign for the general store connected to Lion House (Hanuman House) owned by the Capildeos (the Tulsis) of Chaguanas and married Bropatie Capildeo (Shama). Although his children were born in Lion House he usually resided elsewhere. Mter he had painted advertising signs for the Trinidad Guardian (the Sentinel), the editor allowed him to submit articles, then hired him as a reporter. As Seepersad had a highly developed sense of humour his reports and interviews made him well known. Mter several moves he became the newspa­ per's Chaguanas correspondent but lived by himself in a wooden house away from Lion House until he had a mental collapse - possibly influenced by his resignation from the paper after the editor had been fired and its policy changed, and possibly by a fierce quarrel with the very orthodox Hindu Capildeos about reli­ gious reform. Mter his nervous breakdown he became an overseer on a Capildeo estate (Green Vale) and then a shopkeeper (The Chase).

  • A Study of Young C. L. R. James and Trinidadian Context in the Early Twentieth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE A Study of Young C. L. R. James and Trinidadian Context in the Early Twentieth Century A Study of Young C. L. R. James and Trinidadian Context in the Early Twentieth Century Katsunori KAJIHARA Growing interest has been attracted to the West Indian novelist, historian, and critic, C. L. R. James since the rise of so-called “British Cultural Studies.” Many biographies of James, accordingly, are available now, in addition to his own autobiographical criticism on cricket Beyond a Boundary and his letters to Constance Webb. However, less attention has been paid to the environment as a whole that nurtured his unique stance to the contemporary problematics, though many critics refer to individual memories of him about his family, what he read in his school days, and cricket. Early in the twentieth century, Trinidad produced many talented intellectuals whose influence remains even today. Why did such talented thinkers appear in the same place at the same time? If Trinidad, as Eric Williams charged in his History of the People of the Trinidad & Tobago, was based on sugar workers and needed only sugar workers, not citizens, what was the driving force that gave rise to the limited but in some respects prominent intellectuals? The purpose of this paper is to clarify the local and historical situation of Trinidad from the turn of twenties century to 1920s in which not only James but West Indian intellectuals in general were brought up. Towards the end of nineteenth century, there appeared new criteria which became the basis of social ranking within the black community in Trinidad.

  • Report of the Trinidad and Tobago Independence
    REPORT OF THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO INDEPENDENCE CONFERENCE, 1962 Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for the Colonies by Command of Her Majesty June 1962 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Report Introduction Date of Independence Membership of Commonwealth The Constitution . Chapter I - Recognition and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms . Chapter II - Citizenship . Chapter III - The Governor General . Chapter IV - Parliament . Chapter V - Executive Powers . Chapter VI - The Judicature . Chapter VII - Finance . Chapter VIII - The Public Service . Second Schedule . General Appendix A - List of Attendees Appendix B - Entrenched Provisions of the Constitution 2 REPORT INTRODUCTION 1. Since a Ministerial system of government was introduced in 1950 responsibility for the conduct of the internal affairs of Trinidad and Tobago has passed progressively to elected Ministers. In December, 1961, full internal self-government was attained, following a general election at which the People's National Movement, led by Dr. Eric Williams, gained 20, and the Democratic Labour Party, led by Dr. Rudranath Capildeo 10 of the 30 seats in the House of Representatives. 2. Attention was then turned to the future of Trinidad and Tobago in the light of the situation created by Jamaica's decision to withdraw from the Federation of The West Indies. On 14th January, 1962, the General Council of the People's National Movement unanimously approved a resolution that Trinidad and Tobago should not participate in any new federation of the East Caribbean which might be formed but should proceed forthwith to independence without prejudice to the possibility of the territory's future association in a unitary state with other territories in the East Caribbean.

  • Dr Rudranath “Rudy” Capildeo Venue: Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, Port of Spain Date: Sunday, May 4Th, 2014 Time: 7 P.M
    THE INAUGURAL DR RUDRANATH CAPILDEO LEGACY LECTURE “From Lion House to Legend” Dr Rudranath “Rudy” Capildeo Venue: Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago, Port of Spain Date: Sunday, May 4th, 2014 Time: 7 p.m. I shall begin by expressing my deep debt of gratitude to Governor Rambarran, whose vision was realised through the excellence of his officers of the Central Bank. I especially thank Charlene Ramdhanie for helping me through this process. Governor Rambarran, thank you for making this tribute to my father possible, for the superb exhibition you have arranged, for inviting me to give this talk, for inviting my wife Rita and our family — I really cannot believe that this happened; I really cannot believe that this was going to happen in my life time. Perhaps you thought, “Get Rudy before he goes off to see his Pa, Rudranath Capildeo.” Of course, this occasion would not have happened if you did not cherish the memory of my father. Your presence here tonight is most gratefully acknowledged and I thank you all for coming, especially the students of QRC. Thank you, one and all. I have to say, Governor, that you are very brave. You knew of my father Dr Rudranath Capildeo but you did not know Dr Rudy Capildeo! So everybody is thinking, “What will he be like, what will his talk be like, will it be “feast or famine”, Prosecco or vintage Champagne, tired canapés or banquet for the senses! I have no doubt you will tell me in due course! In this talk I will present to you the two loves of my father — your country, Trinidad and Tobago and Science in London.

  • Uneasy Transitions: Presbyterian Schools and Excellence
    Chapter 4 Uneasy Transitions: Presbyterian Schools and Excellence The Indian Christian was more liberal and adaptable in every way; but, following far behind the Negro on the weary road to whiteness he was more insecure …. The Trinidad Indian who was concerned about the In- dependence struggle and contributed large sums to various funds, washed his hands of India in 1947. The struggle was over, the shame was removed, and he could settle without self-reproach into the easy unde- manding society of Trinidad.1 In the post-1950 era Trinidad and Tobago witnessed radical changes in its soci- ety. The emergence of full-fledged political parties in the late 1950s, the grant- ing of Independence in 1962, the Black Power Revolution of 1970 and the at- tainment of Republican status in 1976 were historic changes which made the leaders and citizens of Trinidad and Tobago more acutely aware of their iden- tity, ethnicity and the pressing need to seek social, political and economic im- provements. The “oil boom” years contributed to the upsurge of infrastructure which included the erection of numerous government institutions which as- sisted in the dispensation of knowledge and reduction of illiteracy. The voting patterns of Presbyterians appeared to have changed. During the early elections from 1925, Presbyterians would have willingly supported work- ing class candidates of East Indian descent such as Sarran Teelucksingh, F.E.M. Hosein, Timothy Roodal or Adrian Cola Rienzi. A shift in allegiance seemed to have occurred in the post-1956 era. Some Presbyterians would not have been willing to support a Hindu leader and gave their support to the Christian- dominated pnm but this fear among Presbyterians might have been exagger- ated.

  • Appendix A: Naipaul's Family, a House for Mr Biswas and the Mimic
    Appendix A: Naipaul’s Family, A House for Mr Biswas and The Mimic Men Naipaul’s fiction makes imaginative use of actual people. His father Seepersad (1906–53) is the model for Mr Biswas. After Seepersad’s father died when he was six years old, Seepersad and his impoverished mother became dependent on his mother’s sister (Tara of Biswas) and her wealthy husband (Ajodha) who owned rum shops, taxis and other busi- nesses. After some schooling Seepersad became a sign-painter; he painted a sign for the general store connected to Lion House (Hanuman House in Biswas) owned by the Capildeos (the Tulsis) of Chaguanas and married Bropatie Capildeo (Shama). Although his seven children were born in Lion House he usually resided elsewhere. After he had painted advertising signs for the Trinidad Guardian (the Sentinel in Biswas), the editor allowed him to submit articles, then hired him as a reporter. As Seepersad had a highly developed sense of humour his reports and interviews made him well known. After several moves Seepersad became the newspaper’s Chaguanas correspondent but lived by himself in a wooden house away from Lion House until he had a mental collapse – possibly influenced by his resig- nation from the paper after the editor had been fired and its policy changed, and possibly by a fierce quarrel with the very orthodox Hindu Capildeos about religious reform. After his nervous breakdown he became an overseer on a Capildeo estate (Green Vale) and then a shopkeeper (The Chase). He rejoined the Guardian, and moved to Port of Spain where for ten years he lived in various houses owned by the Capildeos before acquiring his own house (the Sikkim Street house).

  • Area of Enigma: V.S. Naipaul and the East Indian Revival in Trinidad Aaron Eastley
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 41 No. 2 Pages 23–45 Copyright © 2011 Area of Enigma: V.S. Naipaul and the East Indian Revival in Trinidad Aaron Eastley “It is hard to think of a writer more fundamentally exilic, carrying so many clashing fading worlds inside him.” —Pankaj Mishra, xv “We cannot understand all the traits we have inherited. Sometimes we can be strangers to ourselves.” —V.S. Naipaul, A Way in the World 11 On March 29, 1949, V.S. Naipaul was front-page news in the Trinidad Guardian. “Special ‘Schol’ Urged for QRC Student,” the headline stated, and beneath was a photo of a quietly smiling teenage Naipaul, looking studious and benign in a pair of large black-rimmed glasses (“Special”). Naipaul, the article reports, had earned marks of distinc- tion in Spanish and French on the Cambridge Higher School Certificate Examination, but was not eligible for a Colonial Scholarship to study in England owing to a recently-introduced technicality. Through no fault of his own he had not completed all of the requisite course work to qualify for competition. In response the Trinidadian Education Board unanimously voted that an additional scholarship be created specially for him. This scholarship allowed Naipaul to take a degree in English from Oxford in 1954, and embark on his illustrious career as a writer of fiction and travel journalism. Curiously, nowhere in Naipaul’s extensive autobiographical rumina- tions are readers given reason to suspect that his leaving Trinidad was such a touch-and-go affair. On the contrary, although competition for Colonial Scholarships was fierce, Naipaul treats the matter of his win- ning one almost as a manifest destiny.
