  • Making the Case for Middlebrow Culture
    Introduction: Making the Case for Middlebrow Culture BELINDA EDMONDSON A milestone of sorts was reached in 2007 when, for the first time ever, a dreadlocked, black Rastafarian woman won a Caribbean beauty pageant. It was no longer news, as it might have been ten years before, that Zahra Redwood, a dark‐skinned, black woman, won the coveted Miss Jamaica Universe title. The predilection for light‐ skinned, long‐haired Caribbean women of racially mixed heritage had already begun to fade in the English‐speaking Caribbean since the dark‐skinned black Trinidadian Wendy Fitzwilliam became the second black woman to win the Miss Universe title in 1998. (The first was the predictably light‐skinned Trinidadian contestant Janelle “Penny” Commissiong, in 1977.) “Marcus Garvey must be smiling in his grave,” exclaimed one admirer, implying that Garveyesque black nationalism had come full circle.1 But in a region where Rastafarianism has long been equated with poverty, marginalization, and subversive, millennial black power politics, Zahra Redwood’s victory was more than just an ideological triumph of indigenous aesthetics over Western ones. The Rasta beauty queen also heralded the depoliticization of black power aesthetics. Rather than the triumph of radical black nationalism, she highlights the co‐optation of both Western metropolitan and local working‐class culture in the upper echelons of Caribbean society. One interpretation of the Rasta beauty queen is to view her as representative of a globalized indigenous aesthetic, which she is. But even more so, she is the culmination of a long regional history of Caribbean middlebrow culture. In the beauty contest–obsessed societies of the Caribbean and Latin America, a contestant’s chances of winning a national pageant are directly related to the perception that she has a shot at winning an international beauty contest such as Miss World or Miss Universe.
