  • Introduction of Professor Eudine Barriteau for Induction Ceremony As Principal of the Cave Hill Campus, University of the West Indies
    1 Introduction of Professor Eudine Barriteau for Induction Ceremony as Principal of the Cave Hill Campus, University of the West Indies Patricia Mohammed, Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies Campus Coordinator, School for Graduate Studies and Research, UWI, St Augustine 12th December, 2015 “Reading creates parallel worlds, says Eudine Barriteau “It stimulates the mind”. “From young I began to experience the interiority of the mind, how it could operate in direct contradistinction to perceived reality, so from about 13 I would observe situations where my mind was beyond it. But an external reading by others would dwell on what they saw, a teenager, growing up working class with a single mother, producing easy classifications that did not fit that interiority. In my mind I had analyzed it and thought how wrong they were”. She spent the first eleven years of her life in Grenada and moved to Barbados in 1965, the year before this society would become independent. On November 30, 2013, she was awarded the Gold Crown of Merit by the Government of Barbados, in celebration of its 47th Anniversary of Independence. Today we acknowledge another boundary crossing in the life of a remarkable Caribbean woman. Violet Eudine Barriteau is a Professor of Gender and Public Policy, two interrelated and complex areas of thought that define her expertise in the academy. The dualism in this professorial title represents her academic contribution to new knowledge, and the impact of her work in the public sphere. She has contributed significantly in this region to bringing gender out of its domestic confinement, breaking this glass ceiling of gender, not with explosives, but through evidence, with hard edged argued rationality.

  • Inaugural Dame Nita Barrow Lecture Are Caribbean Women Taking Over?
    Inaugural Dame Nita Barrow Lecture Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Contradictions for Women in Caribbean Society Toronto, December 1997 Violet Eudine Barriteau Director, Centre for Gender and Development Studies University of The West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados Dean Michael Fullan, Chair, Barbados' High Commissioner to Ottawa, Her Excellency June Clarke, Mr Errol Humphries, Mr Louis Tull, Dr Hall, Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, sisters and brothers from the Caribbean, good evening. I am very honoured and humbled to deliver the inaugural lecture of the Dame Nita Barrow Women In Development and Community Transformation Visitorship. On behalf of the University of The West Indies and the Centre for Gender and Development Studies I take this opportunity to congratulate OISE and the University of Toronto for establishing this Visitorship to honour the memory of Dame Nita. I hope our policy makers have noted your initiative and are in fact working on a significant and relevant means of honouring the regional and international public service of this remarkable, outstanding woman. I anticipate and look forward to this. Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Let me say by Caribbean I refer to the countries of the Anglophone, Commonwealth Caribbean which share a similar historical, cultural, political and economic legacy even though there are varying expressions of that legacy within this grouping. With the topic of my lecture, "Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Contradictions for Women in Caribbean Society” I draw your attention to the changing nature of gender relations in the Caribbean and what these changes mean for women. Sharp, polarized divisions now exist in the ways in which Caribbean people interpret these evolving relations.

    United Nations Nations Unies Commission on the Status of Women Forty-ninth session New York, 28 February – 11 March 2005 PANEL I Synergies between national-level implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women Written statement* submitted by Valerie Knowles Bahamas Family Planning Association, Bahamas * The paper has been reproduced as submitted. Distinguished Chair, Panelists, Participants, Good Evening. I bring greetings from the Bahamas Family Planning Association and from all NGOs in the Bahamas. Synergy suggests multiple forces working together to achieve a goal that neither force can fully attain on its own. Whereas attainment of the goals of CEDAW removes barriers to equal access by women to full participation in their specific environments and ultimately in the context of a more complex international arena, realization of the goals of the Beijing Platform for Action (The Platform) ensures that women, freed from discrimination are strategically positioned and equipped to exploit that freedom. The Platform in designating poverty, health, education and sexual violence among its areas of critical concern and proffering strategies to improve such, has incisively pointed to existing areas of synergy between CEDAW and Beijing. This emergent symmetry, clearly indicates that women freed from discrimination are fully free only when the structural environs in which she functions, support, rather than undermine her power and the quality of life to which she is entitled. Political architects who are unable to discern this synergy and who are attracted to the qualities of only one of these instruments i.e.

  • 416 V. Eudine Barriteau
    416 book reviews V. Eudine Barriteau (ed.) Love and Power: Caribbean Discourses on Gender. Kingston: University of the West Indies Press, 2012. xii + 516 pp. (Paper us$35.00) The project of Caribbean feminist scholarship has been extensive—producing alternate narratives in an attempt to undermine practices of domination, en- gaging in significant projects of recovery, and aiming to uncloak the multiple and complex ways in which gender is significant to Caribbean life. This book furthers these efforts by providing multidisciplinary analyses of the implica- tions of gendered discourses for various aspects of Caribbean societies. Eudine Barriteau’s introduction presents the book as concerned with rup- turing “embedded and resilient patriarchal knowledge claims” (p. 4). She notes that in spite of the transformative contributions of feminist scholars in the Caribbean, there remains a reluctance to engage with their work and the gen- dered analyses it exemplifies. The book, then, is aimed at confronting this trend, while taking on the “contradictions, continuities, changes and transi- tions confounding and configuring the social, political and knowledge econ- omy” of the region (p. 10). Critical to this undertaking, she writes, is the need to trace circuits of power and the ways in which they produce relations of gen- der. The chapters make important contributions to a range of subjects including political economy, masculinities, motherhood, science and technology, peda- gogies, and epistemologies. They deal with the issue of “multiple exclusions,” often associated with theorizing the Caribbean, by centering both gender as a relevant and necessary analytical consideration and the Caribbean as the site of these analyses.
