    4 — Gendering Dub Culture Across Diaspora — Jamaican Female Dub Poets in Canada and England FRO-CARIBBEAN WOMEN DUB POETS have long incorporated feminist aesthetics into their work, thereby bringing a unique per- A spective to dub culture. Not surprisingly, then, and following in the tradition of Una Marson and Louise Bennett, the Jamaican Canadian dub poets Afua Cooper, Ahdri Zhina Mandiela, and Lillian Allen all employ an African- Jamaican aesthetic to articulate the social conditions of black women in Africa and the diaspora and to call for opposition to patriarchal systems of oppression and black male dominance in the private sphere. This feminist discourse in dub poetry is particularly highlighted in Canada because Allen, Cooper, and Man- diela have been so instrumental to dub culture in that country. While I focus primarily on these three artists in this chapter, I also include some reflections on the work of Jean ‘Binta’ Breeze1 of the UK to provide a comparative analysis of how these writers utilize local Jamaican cultures to articulate black female experience. While this chapter takes up race, class, and gender by female dub poets, this is not to suggest that earlier (as well as current) Jamaican creative writers have not also worked with these themes. However, it is important to note that, historically, dub poetry has been dominated by a male perspective and has focused thematically on race and class issues. This is a result of dub poetry’s strong black-nationalist and pan-Africanist ties as both philosophies have tended to overlook intersections of gender and race in their framing of political 1 Although ‘Binta’ Breeze often distances herself from dub poetry, I include her work because some of her poems clearly experiment with a dub aesthetic.

  • Dub Poetry - Culture of Resistance
    DUB POETRY - CULTURE OF RESISTANCE Christian Habekost (Mannheim) It was the great Barbadian poet and literary critic Edward Kamau Brathwaite who wrote in his standard work on the development of a “Creole Society” about the emergence of a distinctive Caribbean culture: Whatever we did that was worthwile had to be blessed by Europe. And yet the folk tradition persisted. The drums beat from the blood, the people danced and spoke their un-English English until our artists, seeking at last to paint themselves, to speak themselves, to sing themselves, returned [...] to the roots, to the soil, to the sources.1 It is dub poetry that incorporates not only these elements of folk tradi­ tion Brathwaite is talking about, but blends several art forms like music, drama, poetry, literature and performance into one to produce a modern expression of pop culture that has achieved international recognition. Developing out of reggae music, which had already gained an interna­ tional status since Bob Marley & The Wailers had crossed the borders from 1975 on, dub poetry was able to reach an audience all around the world. The poetry took over the cultural values of the music, the revolu­ tionary spirit and its militant stance towards society and used the well- established channels reggae had already prepared. Yet even though dub poetry emerged when reggae was in fashion internationally, it still man­ aged to stay out of the vicious circle of artificial fads and promotional interests of the recording industry. Today, after reggae has returned to the ghettos where it once came from, dub poetry still enjoys international success and an increasing au­ dience in many countries of the world.

  • Ten Years, Lillian Allen—Jamaican-Canadian Dub Poet
    BRENDA CARR We believe that art in itself is symbolic and although it can play a major role in people's lives and in social and political movements, it cannot change the structure of social relations. Our work extends beyond merely creating art; we take our poetry and our conviction into the community. LILLIAN ALLEN, "DE DUB: RENEGADES IN A ONE POEM TOWN" JL OR MORE THAN ten years, Lillian Allen—Jamaican-Canadian dub poet, arts activist, community worker, and mother—has been performing a transformative vision of social change and cultural affirmation in the African tradition of the griot or storyteller-keeper of social memory. As a cross-over artist, Allen works within a complex intersection of African, Jamaican, and Western traditions, history, rhythms, languages, and popular culture practices. In the following discussion, I seek to contex- tualize dub aesthetics in the legacies of the African diaspora as these interface with Western traditions, material practices, and technologies. It is also essential to engage Allen's work in the contexts and development of Jamaican women's movements as these emerge with the struggle for national liberation from neocolonial economic and cultural subjugation. Most important, I argue that dub aesthetics are deeply community- rooted and accountable. Because of Allen's complex locations as Afro-Jamaican-Caribbean-Canadian heterosexual woman, her voice rings simultaneously across multiple communities of affil• iation: the international African diaspora, Jamaicans, African- Canadians, anti-imperialists,

  • Multiculturalism and the De-Politicization of Blackness in Canada: the Case of Flow 93.5 Fm
    MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM by Kisrene McKenzie A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Kisrene McKenzie 2009 MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM Master of Arts 2009 Kisrene McKenzie Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract This thesis presents a case study of Canada‟s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada‟s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW‟s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I extend my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sherene Razack, for her guidance, constant support, encouragement and initial interest in my thesis topic.

  • Orality and the Body in the Poetry of Lillian Allen and Dionne Brand: Towards an Embodied Social Semiotics Maria Caridad Casas
    Orality and the Body in the Poetry of Lillian Allen and Dionne Brand: Towards an Embodied Social Semiotics Maria Caridad Casas Introduction Recently, while waiting for calaloo in the Caribbean take-out shop around the corner from our flat, I had a conversation with the dark- brown-skinned cook. Where did I live, he asked? "Up near Ruskin Park," I said, wishing to share my pleasure in the park, and belatedly aware that I was also overtly indicating privilege. On the edges of Brixton as we are, one's choice of names is a statement of social allegiance. Did I like London? Yes; well, I liked Brixton (again, impulsively sharing my plea• sure, but now aware of the signalling of allegiances). Where was I from? As always, a second of hyper-awareness, of computing contexts: if I had been speaking Spanish, I would say "Cuba," though I was an immigrant to Anglo-Canada at age five; when I lived in bilingual Montreal I would say "Ottawa," the bilingual border-city where I grew up; but here in London, I say "Canada," letting the semiotics of dialect and skin colour convey erroneous signals. I am only white English-Canadian in certain times and places. Was I here alone? "No, with my partner, you might have seen him around, he's from Guatemala ..." here I stopped, at a loss, since my partner has roughly the same migrant history as I. Why did I say he was from Guatemala, while I was "Canadian"? I tried to explain: "You might have seen him pass by [...] He has black hair, sort of dark, looks Latin American." But the cook didn't know what "Latin Americans" are supposed to look like.

  • RIC KNOWLES This Essay Traces the Contributions of Afro-Caribbean
    RIC KNOWLES TO BE DUB, FEMALE, AND BLACK: TOWARDS A WOMBAN- CENTRED AFRO-CARIBBEAN DIASPORIC PERFORMANCE AESTHETIC IN TORONTO1 This essay traces the contributions of Afro-Caribbean women, particu- larly Rhoma Spencer, ahdri zhina mandiela, and d’bi.young anitafrika, to a developing performance aesthetic in Toronto that is grounded in Caribbean cultural texts. It focuses on ways in which the work of these women has consciously challenged and queered Canadian and Caribbean theatrical and performance forms as well as heterosexist and masculinist cultural nationalisms and colonial modernities. Spencer, through her company Theatre Archipelago, employs a “poor theatre” aesthetic, a presentational sensibility, exhuberant performances, and a richness of language, all grounded in Caribbean traditions such as carnival, ’mas, and calypso, to speak in complex ways about the politics of class, gender, and race with a clear emphasis on women. mandiela, through her company bcurrent and especially through her plays dark diaspora…in dub! and who knew grannie, has invented and developed a new form, dub theatre, out of the Jamaican-based traditions of dub poetry. d’bi.young anitafrika has followed in mandiela’s footsteps, contributing to the women’s dub tradition through the invention of what she calls “biomyth monodrama” as exemplified in her sankofa trilogy. These women have constituted a Toronto within the city that functions as a transformative space operating at the intersection of nations, sexualities, and performance forms to queer traditional theatrical hierarchies, together with the largely masculinist ethos of much Caribbean performance and the narrow chronopolitics of modernist colonial “development.” They have created and continue to develop entirely new, empowering, “womban-centered,” and “revolushu- nary” Afro-Caribbean forms that are (re)grounded in traditions of the grannies, the griots, the nation languages of the people, and movement and language that emerge from and celebrate Black women’s bodies in a transnational Canadian-Caribbean diaspora.

  • Multimodality in the Poetry of Lillian Allen and Dionne
    MULTIMODALITY IN THE POETRY OF LILLIAN ALLEN AND DIONNE BRAND: A SOCIAL SEMIOTIC APPROACH by Maria Caridad Casas Institute of Education Doctor of Philosophy 2002 2 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON ABSTRACT MULTIMODALITY IN THE POETRY OF LILLIAN ALLEN AND DIONNE BRAND: A SOCIAL SEMIOTIC APPROACH by Maria Caridad Casas Abstract This thesis develops social semiotic theory by asking it to account for the meaning-making practices of African-Canadian poets Lillian Allen and Dionne Brand. Its primary aim is to develop the theory, though it attempts to describe in new and interesting ways certain moments in these oral / written texts at the margins of the literary. The research question, what is the relationship between spoken creole and English writing? is an entry into the political issues raised by the texts themselves, and larger issues of clisciplinarity and the epistemologies of linguistic and literary studies. After giving an account of their literary-historical and black feminist contexts and an overview of the poetry of Allen and Brand, I look for a post- structuralist semiotic model of the relationship between letter and sound in Derrida's "The End of the Book and the Beginning of Writing". Finding his -07 version phonetic writing too restricted to account for the practices of Allen and Brand, and deconstruction only a partial explanation of Caribbean feminist poetics, I develop a critical sociolinguistic / social semiotic account 3 of language standardisation, conventionality, and grammar. With the aid of Saussure's Cours 4 linguistique generale, I work out the formal properties of the sign necessary to account for these, and then go on to explain how they work in the texts of Allen and Brand using two social semiotic principles of production: "projection" and "embodiment".
