  • Remembering "Norris Buzz Johnson" November 2 1951 to February 11, 2014
    Eulogy: Remembering "Norris Buzz Johnson" November 2 1951 to February 11, 2014 Memorial Service Saturday March 1st. 2014 at 1 pm All Saint's Church Haggerston Road Hackney London E8 4EP I recall Buzz gave me a birthday gift many years ago and it was a book entitled “Return to the Source” written by the late Amilcar Cabral. My words today will be in the form of a journey where I briefly return to the source of our brother’s foundations in Tobago and then Trinidad and the journey here to the UK and his growth and development and he will be making his final journey when the body returns to Tobago. Return to the Source: Norris Chrisleventon Johnson was the first and only son of Mrs Adwina Johnson nee Phillips and the late Cornelius Arthur Johnson. He was born in the fishing village of Buccoo in Tobago on November 2 1951. The family migrated to Fyzabad in South Trinidad, one of the villages that housed many workers from the oilfields in Point Fortin and its environs. His father Cornelius was on oilfield worker and was obviously influenced and inspired by a key political and labour activist and leader, Tubal Uriah Buzz Butler. He therefore called his son Buzz. That name has stuck with him ever since. The Fyzabad area was the main bastion of the Butlerite movement. Tubal Uriah Buzz Butler was a fierce defender of workers’ rights and earned his place in Trinidad and Tobago's history for his role during the turbulent days of June 1937. This was the period of the labour riots and the development of the trade union movement in Trinidad & Tobago and in particular of the Oilfield Workers Trade Union.

  • Statement by Sir Ronald Sanders at the Launch on “From Ranji to Rohan” by Professor Clem Seecharan at London Metropolitan University on 19Th November 2009
    Statement by Sir Ronald Sanders At the launch on “From Ranji to Rohan” by Professor Clem Seecharan at London Metropolitan University on 19th November 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, It is a great pleasure to be at London Metropolitan University to help launch the latest book by Professor Clem Seecharan, From Ranji to Rohan. Like most West Indians, I am an avid cricket fan, but alas no great player myself. My cricketing days ended when, as a teenaged batsman, a rather large and extremely quick fast-bowler contrived to get past my bat to a most delicate part of my anatomy that floored me for several agonising minutes in the most excruciating pain I ever experienced. I put away bat, pads and other questionable paraphernalia after that along with my enthusiasm for playing cricket, but my passion for the game never waned. In that connection, I believe I was among the first people to buy, directly from Hansib, the publisher of this book, one of the first copies of “From Ranji to Rohan”. Two things attracted me to it. First, I knew from the experience of reading Clem Seecharan’s previous works that this would be not just a scholarly study based on authoritative research, but also a highly entertaining account of Cricket and Indian Identity in Colonial Guyana. The second attraction was its focus on the exploits of Rohan Kanhai, who was the cricket icon of my childhood and early teenage years. Somewhere amongst the aging and dusty collection of my family albums is a photograph of me trying to imitate that famous Kanhai shot on the cover of this book that one cricket commentator described as “the triumphant fall” - a sweep shot to the leg side that culminated in Kanhai on his back but the ball either racing to the boundary for four or soaring past it for six.

This project could not have been undertaken without the Wenner-Gren Foundation award of a dissertation fieldwork grant and a University Continuing Fellowship that supported writing. The John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies has supported my work through the award of multiple research grants and fellowships both prior to and after fieldwork, and most importantly it has provided the rare space where race, racism and the African diaspora could be rigorously thought about and debated intellectually at the University of Texas, Austin. The Center for Asian American Studies has funded my last years in graduate school and enabled me to develop my own courses on Black and Asian social movements and to create self-defined people of color intellectual spaces.

  • The Windrush Thinkers and Artists Professor Richard Drayton 26
    The Windrush Thinkers and Artists Professor Richard Drayton 26 October 2020 One year ago, in my last Gresham Lecture I spoke of Slavery and the City of London across the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Tonight, I speak of scholars, thinkers, novelists, artists, sculptors and poets in the Twentieth century. These immigrants were descendants of enslaved Africans, and of indentured Indians who had laboured on Caribbean plantations. In coming to Britain, they sought to challenge a spiritual regime of unequal personhood produced by the colonial order. To begin where I began last year, the slaves were coming to break through that wall which separated those who enjoyed the freedom and wealth of the city from those who suffered its despotism and poverty. * * * 21 June 1948 was cold and wet. In the dark midsummer afternoon, the House of Lords met to debate the committee stage of the Nationality Bill, which proposed to create a common British citizenship across the empire.1 The question of race, and of the place of the colonies surfaced quickly. Viscount Elibank declared that he knew the colonies well. 'The natives' he said, were happy as subjects of the Crown. He told a joke about a friend in a New York hotel who went up to bed one evening, and the elevator man was coloured "as black as your hat." When my friend reached his floor he left the elevator and the man looked at him and said: "Sah, we two are the only, darned Britishers in this hotel." The point of his 'joke' was to illustrate the danger of a new doctrine of British citizen undermining the old order of British subject, in which each knew his place, on either side of the wall.
