Many of them have made the way easier by their work in the field of politics, such as Dr Eric Williams, Dr Rudranath Capildeo and both the labour leaders Uriah Butler and Captain Andrew Cipriani, while others like Audrey Jeffers in social welfare, Beryl McBurnie and Boscoe Holder in the dance, and Hasely Crawford as well as Ahamad Charles and Roger Gibbon for sport, have been pinpointed." 10.

However, Anthony said there are no such hills as the Trinity Hills in Trinidad, and schools should discontinue teaching children about the Trinity Hills." 12. Anthony, Michael.

    HOW DID WE GET HERE?: AN EXAMINATION OF THE COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY CARIBBEAN JUVENILE LITERATURE IN THE CHILDREN’S LIBRARY OF THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO AND TRINIDADIAN CHILDREN’S RESPONSES TO SELECTED TITLES BY SUJIN HUGGINS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Christine Jenkins, Chair and Director of Research Professor Violet Harris Professor Linda Smith Assistant Lecturer Louis Regis, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine ABSTRACT This study investigates the West Indian Juvenile collection of Caribbean children's literature housed at the Port of Spain Children's Library of the National Library of Trinidad and Tobago to determine its characteristics and contents, and to elicit the responses of a group of children, aged 11 to 13, to selected works from the collection. A variety of qualitative data collection techniques were employed including document analysis, direct observation, interviews with staff, and focus group discussions with student participants. Through collection analysis, ethnographic content analysis and interview analysis, patterns in the literature and the responses received were extracted in an effort to construct and offer a 'holistic' view of the state of the literature and its influence, and suggest clear implications for its future development and use with children in and out of libraries throughout the region. ii For my grandmother Earline DuFour-Herbert (1917-2007), my eternal inspiration, and my daughter, Jasmine, my constant motivation. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To adequately thank all of the wonderful people who have made the successful completion of this dissertation possible would require another dissertation-length document.

Swimming Against the Tide: The Challenge of Legal Publishing in the English Speaking Caribbean IAN RANDLE∗ Historical Background Book Publishing in the English speaking Caribbean is a relatively recent phenomenon. Prior to the 1960s there were sporadic attempts by individuals and even large firms like the Gleaner Company’s Pioneer Press in Jamaica, but some semblance of sustained publishing activity did not come to the region until the post-independence period. In that first immediate post- independence period, the initiative to set up publishing operations came from British educational publishers who established either wholly-owned subsidiaries or went into partnerships with local business interests like the Collins/Sangster imprint in Jamaica.

  • 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).

  • Calabash a JOURNAL of CARIBBEAN ARTS and LETTERS Vol 4, Num 1 / Spring-Summer 2006
    Calabash A JOURNAL OF CARIBBEAN ARTS AND LETTERS Vol 4, Num 1 / Spring-Summer 2006 Dr. Kumar Mahabir EAST INDIANS/SOUTH ASIANS IN THE CARIBBEAN ●●● The abolition of slavery in the early 1830s in the British, French and Dutch colonies of the West Indies/Caribbean led to a severe shortage of labor in the sugarcane plantations. The ex-slaves had exercised their right of freedom of choice to discontinue working on the sugarcane estates even for a wage. The subsequent shortage of labor served as a catalyst for the introduction of a system of imported contract labor. The British first introduced laborers from India to the Caribbean through a system of semi- slave contract labor known as Indentureship. In 1838, Britain brought the first Indian laborers from the port of Calcutta to British Guiana (now Guyana) based on the success of the system in Mauritius. Initially, the Caribbean initiative met resistance since accusations were leveled at the harsh treatment of the newly-arrived workers. Nevertheless, with lobbying by John Gladstone and other British planters, the system continued and expanded. It was later extended to Trinidad and Jamaica [1845] and then to other Caribbean islands like St. Lucia [1856], St. Vincent [1856], Grenada [1857] and St. Kitts [1861]. The system was also adopted by the French and Dutch who took Indians to Martinique [1853], Guadeloupe [1854], French Guyana [1855], St. Croix [1862] and Suriname [1873]. By the time Indentureship system ended in 1917, about 400,000 Indians came to the Caribbean colonies, most of whom chose to settle in the islands.

Rahim: (Not) Knowing the Difference: Calypso Overseas and the Sound... Culture is an embodied phenomenon. This implies that one’s cultural location is not fixed to any one geographical space. Cultures, in other words, are not inherently provincial by nature. They move and evolve with the bodies that create and live them. The Caribbean civilization understands the logic of traveling cultures given that the dual forces of rooted-ness and itinerancy shape its diasporic ethos. Travel is how we “do” culture. Indeed, the Caribbean’s literary tradition is marked by a preoccupation with identity constructs that display allegiances to particular island locations and nationalisms, on the one hand, and transnational sensibilities that are regional and metropolitan on the other. This paper is interested in the function of the calypso as a sign of cultural identity and belonging in selected narratives that focus on the experiences of West Indian immigrants to the metropolitan centers of England and the United States.

Scott: Matura Days - A Memoir For Earl It was at the end of 1977, or just at the beginning of 1978 that Jenny, my wife (Jenny Green/Jenny Scott) and I met Earl for the first time. It was after a reading of Leroy Clarke’s poetry performed by The Trinidad Theatre Workshop in the Anglican Cathedral in Port-of-Spain. Jenny and I were taken there by Roy Achong, the journalist and photographer, and Phyllis Holder, then the librarian at Holy Name Convent, recently back from London, on whose verandah overlooking Lapeyrouse Cemetery, we used to lime. After this event, at which I remember Eunice Alleyne and Errol Jones reading from the pulpit of the cathedral from Leroy Clarke’s “Douens,” as I remember it, we were introduced in the churchyard to Earl Lovelace, the novelist, Jean Lovelace, his wife, Raoul Pantin, the journalist, and Wilbert Holder, the actor.
