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.

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.

The second is the unique cultural shape this ingathering generated in Caribbean societies and the invitation its continued evolution holds out to citizens to create a different future, not only for them, but also for the world. For Lovelace, therefore, the saving irony of the region’s terrible history is precisely this meeting of so many peoples who, consciously or not, have been “all geared to the New World challenge” (Growing in the Dark 226).

  • Bridget Brereton Contesting the Past: Narratives Of
    BRIDGET BRERETON CONTESTING THE PAST: NARRATIVES OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO HISTORY INTRODUCTION Historians and social scientists agree that nationalisms and national identities, ethnicities and ethnic identities, are all constructed or “invented” at specific historical conjunctures, and that the creation of narratives about the past is nearly always an important aspect of this process. The recent (June 2006) dec- laration by the Florida state legislature – that American history as taught in the state’s schools “shall be viewed as factual, not as constructed ... and shall be defined as the creation of a new nation based largely on the universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence” – thus flies in the face of decades of academic consensus about how “history” is written. Every past, every claim to truth about the past, is open to interpretation. As Barry Schwartz (quoted in Johnson 2003:7) has put it, “recollecting the past is an active constructive process, not a simple matter of retrieving information. To remember is to place a part of the past in the service of conceptions and needs of the present.” All postcolonial states, in particular, have undergone a process of national self- creation, a process of identity formation involving “a recasting of history to produce a usable past” as Howard Johnson (2003:) has said of Jamaica. Nationalisms are invented, and their claims to historical continuity are always expressions of ideological and political concerns, and this is equally true of the construction of ethnicities and ethnic narratives. “Nations are imaginary constructs that depend for their existence on an apparatus of cultural fictions,” writes Timothy Brennan (990:49).

  • (En)Countering Masculinity in Lawrence Scott's Aelred's Sin Ty
    International Journal of Arts and Commerce Vol. 1 No. 3 (En)Countering Masculinity in Lawrence Scott’s Aelred’s Sin Tyrone Ali University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad Email – [email protected] Phone – 1-868-330-2588 Abstract The history of the West Indies is one of violation and trauma, consequent upon colonization and its attendant economic and political agendas. Juxtaposed to the fiscal rationale for slavery were a corresponding degradation, emasculation and identity-stripping of the Caribbean man. But West Indian authors have applied their creative genius in constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing literary works that reflect a multiplicity of masculine identities nurtured by attitudes of sex and gender. A major tool employed to this end has been an interrogation of love, intimacy and sexuality in the lives of men in Anglophone Caribbean prose. This paper interrogates such indices of masculinity in Lawrence Scott’s Aelred’s Sin with a view to ascertaining the sex and gender identities of Scott’s French Creole Caribbean protagonist transplanted in the metropole. Keywords: love, intimacy, sexuality, masculinity, sex identity, gender identity. Essay West Indian literature is undoubtedly replete with the behaviours, attitudes and orientations of male characters whose masculinities hinge on the indices of love, intimacy and sexuality to varying degrees. Over time, literary constructions of Caribbean masculinities have come to reflect the gamut of male identities ranging from a subdued, passive sexuality to a brutal and openly displayed violent sexuality. Historically, authors’ works reflect a strong allegiance to characters underscored by heterosexuality. Contemporary texts, however, as well as historical narratives written from a contemporary ideological base, reflect a shift to alternative sexualities and men’s quests to identify with such.
