  • SAM SELVON TALKING a Conversation with Kenneth Ramchand
    SAM SELVON TALKING A Conversation with Kenneth Ramchand Samuel Selvon K.R. Samuel Selvon, you are the first writer-in-residence that we have had at St. Augustine and this is an important breakthrough for us, but I'm sure that many people will wonder why you are here for one month only, and why you have come in June* when our students are preoccupied with examinations. s.s. I had hoped to come for the full student term, from October to December 1982, but I'm working on a new book which I have started and I have found that some research that I'd hoped to put off till a later period has to be done right now. I can't really move with the book until the research is done. K.R. Are you doing a non-fiction work? s.s. No, but in a way it is a departure for me. I hope to do a work of fiction, but it will be based loosely — very loosely — on historical material. Although it will be in the main a fiction and invention, and will related more to human and social relationships than to events, I would like to adhere to the history of the period — roughly the 1920's and 1930's — as closely as possible. At the same time if I find that the fiction and the creativity are working to my satisfaction, I might forsake historical authenticity. In other words, if I feel the need to shift an historical event or circumstance out by a few years I might very well do so.

His writing in the Moses trilogy is very representative because of his preoccupation with issues of identity and culture. The Lonely Londoners, published in 1956, and Moses Ascending, published in 1975, are two of them. These two books telling Creole immigrants’ story have been recognized as a great masterpiece in Caribbean literature, which have a far-reaching influence on postcolonial literature. This thesis attempts to employ Homi Bhabha’s theory of hybridity to illustrate the Creoles’ struggle against colonization and the construction of political hybridity. The thesis consists of three parts. Part One is Introduction, which presents a short introduction to the author Samuel Selvon, his two works, the theoretical framework. Part Two depicts the process of the Creoles’ struggle against colonization in political civilization. In the aspect of politics, the Creoles experience the process from unawareness of politics to pursuing their political dream. They attempt to construct their own political system on the basis of the British mode. Part Three is Conclusion. Based on the above analyses, the thesis draws the conclusion that different cultures can influence each other.

Close Readings Lars Eckstein 13 Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners (1956) Abstract: This essay reads Sam Selvon’s novel The Lonely Londoners (1956) as a milestone in the decolonisation of British fiction. After an introduction to Selvon and the core composition of the novel, it discusses the ways in which the narrative takes on issues of race and racism, how it in the tradition of the Trinidadian carnival confronts audiences with sexual profanation and black masculine swagger, and not least how the novel, especially through its elaborate use of creole Englishes, reimagines London as a West Indian metropolis. The essay then turns more systematically to the ways in which Selvon translates Western literary models and their isolated subject positions into collective modes of narrative performance taken from Caribbean orature and the calypsonian tradition. The Lonely Londoners breathes entirely new life into the ossified conventions of the English novel, and imbues it with unforeseen aesthetic, ethical, political and epistemological possibilities. Key Words: 1948 Nationality Act – racism – kiff-kiff laughter - creolisation - calypso 1 Context: Author, Oeuvre, Moment Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners marks a milestone in the decolonisation of the British novelistic tradition.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A Note on Sam Selvon Abstract I can't remember when Sam started to contribute to Caribbean Voices, but it was just after the end of the War, when he was working on the Trinidad Guardian. I can just remember that it was a charming and unpretentious poem. 'Remember Harry's little car, And the vale with daisies.' Later it was about 'When the Yankees came to Trinidad, they had the girls all going mad.' He was one of the first estW Indian writers to make contact with the BBC, when he came to England with George Lamming in 1950. Long afterwards, he came down to see me in Bishops Stortford when he spoke about the literary renaissance in the Caribbean to a local literary society. His contributions were mainly in prose, clear and unpretentious and marked by great accuracy of expression; over the years, I can still remember the sketches he wrote in verse and prose, such as his vision of the shore in Barbados, with the sea making the sky 'tremendously large'. Then there was the birthday broadcast that he and George Lamming made to celebrate the birthday of Frank Collymore, the editor of Bim.

London, as Henry Swanzy the producer of the influential BBC Radio programme Caribbean Voices once aptly observed, had become a 'literary headquarters'. It had become a centre where writers from the various islands were meeting for the first time and attempted paradoxically perhaps after departure from the islands to establish a firm estW Indian cultural identity. It was also a time when over 40,000 West Indians emigrated to Britain in search of employment. Originally invited to the 'mother-country' by the post-war government as an attempt to solve the immediate labour crisis followmg the Second World War and commonly known as the 'Windrush generation', these islanders moved to Britain expectant to improve their standard of living.

  • Henry Swanzy, the BBC, and the Development of Caribbean Literature
    "This is London calling the West Indies:" Henry Swanzy, the BBC, and the development of Caribbean literature Glyne Griffith (Do note quote or paraphrase without requisite citation) Introduction Glyne Griffith (Do not quote or paraphrase without requisite citation) Let us begin near the end, that is to say the end of the BBC Caribbean Voices radio program. The end would eventually come in April, 1958, but there is much to be told and much to be written before we arrive at an ending. The year is 1953 and Henry Swanzy, the editor of the BBC Caribbean Voices literary radio program sends a letter dated November 271h from his Oxford Street office in London to his submissions agent, Gladys Lindo in Jamaica. The letter seeks Mrs. Lindo's advice on the appropriateness of editorial comments which Swanzy intends to make during the next scheduled summary of the previous six months of Caribbean Voices broadcasts to the Caribbean. The following extract indicates some of the concerns which Swanzy conveys to Mrs. Lindo: . ..On wider details, I am thinking of referring in the next summary to the death of Seepersad Naipaul, and to the illness of Sam Selvon, and the failure to send [Derek] Walcott to Europe. The last two would be critical remarks, and perhaps you think they would not be suitable in a thing like a summary. It does seem to me that the powers- that-be ought to be made aware of the value of literary work, from the prestige point of view, and the neglect of West Indian writers is really shocking.

An Assessment of Henry Swanzy's Contribution to the Development of Caribbean Literature Abstract In November 1954, after a period of eight years as editor of the BBC radio programme Caribbean Voices, Henry Swanzy left London for Accra to take up a further appointment in broadcasting. Those eight years established for him a unique position in Caribbean literature. He had presided over a series of regular weekly programmes, at first lasting 20 minutes and then 29 minutes after 1947. These programmes became, perhaps, the most important focus for the development and promotion of the region's literary output. Swanzy estimated that the programmes' first six years introduced to its audience over 150 d1fferent contributors from the English-speaking Caribbean.

  • Literary London Society Annual Conference 6-8 July 2016
    Literary London Society Annual Conference 6-8 July 2016 ‘London and the Globe’ Henry Swanzy: transitions and testimonials1 Janice Morphet UCL [email protected] The role of Henry Swanzy in supporting the development of West Indian literature through his editorship of the weekly BBC radio programme Caribbean Voices between 1946-1954 is well documented and frequently discussed2. In this paper, Swanzy’s work is contextualised through his own background and life together with the significant personal events that were taking place in this period. In particular it considers Swanzy’s motivations and objectives for his BBC work in the West Indies and after in West Africa and how his domestic life shaped his approach and decisions on this engagement. In 1943, Henry Swanzy, then a talks and news assistant in the BBC’s Overseas Service, published an article in Political Quarterly3 that outlined his views on the way that the colonies could be transitioned into independent nations. He recognized that the prevailing ideology for the future of the British Empire was through regional groupings. He recognized this as the counterpart to the contemporaneous proposals 1 The author would like to thank Dr Shaf Towheed and Dr Alan Powers for their encouragement for this work at different times and also to the staff of the Universitiy of Birmingham Library special collections and the Bodleain Library University of Oxford special collection for their help and access to their repective Swanzy collections; 2 Breiner, L.A., 2003.
