  • Caribbean Legislators Gather at Parlamericas Meeting in Saint Lucia to Raise Awareness About Gender-Based Political Harassment
    Caribbean legislators gather at ParlAmericas meeting in Saint Lucia to raise awareness about gender-based political harassment For immediate release Castries, Saint Lucia, January 25, 2016 From January 26 to 27, legislators from more than 10 countries across the Caribbean and other Anglophone countries of the Americas will convene in Castries to exchange experiences and strategies to overcome the problem of gender-based political harassment. This inter- parliamentary meeting, titled Gender-based Political Harassment: Building Awareness in Parliaments, is organized by the Group of Women Parliamentarians of ParlAmericas and is being hosted by the Government of Saint Lucia and presiding officers the Honourable Peter I. Foster, Speaker of the House of Assembly and the Honourable Claudius J. Francis, President of the Senate. The Honourable Alvina Reynolds, Minister responsible for Gender Relations, will also give remarks at the inauguration. ParlAmericas and the Saint Lucian delegation of former and current parliamentarians will welcome representatives of the legislatures of Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. The delegates will be joined by subject matter experts from UN Women, the Inter- American Commission of Women of the Organization of American States, the Caribbean Institute of Women in Leadership, and the University of the West Indies. Political harassment, the topic being undertaken, refers to intimidation or violence targeting women active in public life, in ways which are both politically motivated and based on gender. In the context of parliamentary politics, this can be manifested as sexist language, biased media coverage, pressure to renounce elected office, and other forms of aggression.

  • The Assimilation of St. Lucia In: New West
    A. St-Hilaire Globalization, urbanization, and language in Caribbean development: the assimilation of St. Lucia In: New West Indian Guide/ Nieuwe West-Indische Gids 77 (2003), no: 1/2, Leiden, 65-84 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 12:15:17AM via free access AONGHAS ST-HILAIRE GLOBALIZATION, URBANIZATION, AND LANGUAGE IN CARIBBEAN DEVELOPMENT: THE ASSIMILATION OF ST. LUCIA In the former and current British, French, and Dutch Caribbean, the folk- oriented masses have historically expressed themselves through the region's various creole cultures and languages. The numerically small elite classes, in contrast, have historically looked to and identified with the cultures and languages of metropolitan Europe to pattern West Indian social life. The city has been the primary conduit for cultural exchange, serving as a meeting ground between local creole culture and cultural influences from Europe, North America, and the greater Caribbean. Before World War II, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands were held up in much of the urban Caribbean as uncontested, idealized models of society, with the creole culture of the popular classes garnering scant respect at best, or open hostility at worst. Since the end of World War II, the United States has rapidly grown in influence in the region, competing with Europe for local political, economie, and cultural hegemony. What is more, beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, urban-based movements to revaluate creole culture and language emerged on the regional scène, adding further nuance and levels of complexity to the cultural orientation of Caribbean peoples, and addressing somewhat the historie imbalance between the prestigious cultural and linguistic forms of Europe and the denigrated forms of the black Caribbean.

  • Postcolonialism, Identity, and the French Language in St. Lucia
    AONGHAS ST. HILAIRE POSTCoLoniALISM, IDENTITY, And THE FRENCH LAngUAGE in ST. LUCIA Due to its colonial history, St. Lucia is an amalgamation of African, French, and British cultural elements. The French were the first European colonial power to successfully establish permanent settlement on the island, institut- ing a plantation-based economy. Most St. Lucians today are descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the island by the French from neighbor- ing Martinique, beginning in the mid-seventeenth century (Breen 1844). Although the French lost definitive colonial control over the island to the British in 1814, the legacy of early French colonialism is evident everywhere (Lowenthal 1972). The vast majority of place names are of French origin, Roman Catholicism remains the predominant religion and, most notably, more than 80 percent of St. Lucians speak Kwéyòl – a French-lexicon creole vernacular similar to those spoken in the French départements d’outre-mer of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Although Kwéyòl is still widely spoken in St. Lucia, English is the language of education, business, prestige, upward mobility, and international relations, and most St. Lucians also speak English. The British colonial legacy also lives on via St. Lucia’s parliamentary form of government and educational system. Moreover, St. Lucia gained political independence from the United Kingdom in 1979 and, since then, the influence of U.S. culture has been on the rise as U.S.-dominated media have spread throughout the island and as greater numbers of St. Lucians have migrated to and from the North American mainland. In the postcolonial era, Kwéyòl has become the most visible symbol of St.
