   Extractions: This paper explains that one of the most intriguing and interesting aspects of George Lamming's "In the Castle of My Skin" is his variety of narrative forms: 1) the first-person autobiographical account of the character G., 2) the third-person account of the conversations between the Old Man (Pa) and the Old Woman (Ma) and 3) the third-person account, which relates wider activities to describe the consciousness of the village as a whole. The author points out that, although the Caribbean world of G with its colonial brutality, extreme poverty and slavery may be very different from most of the readers' daily lives filled with luxuries, stability and freedom, it does not take long to become involved in the experience. The paper stresses that book may have been written some time ago, but the world it conveys unfortunately exists today; unfortunately, the class system and one people empowering others is not a thing of the past. "Lamming uses the varied narrations to show the many ways that colonialism impacts the individuals and their society. In an interview, he once explained that he uses the different narratives to show the type of suppression that occurred to the villagers. It was not a physical destruction of the body, rather a mental destruction of the mind. He notes, "The result was a fractured consciousness, a deep split in its sensibility which now raised difficult problems of language and values; the whole issue of cultural allegiance between imposed norms of White Power, represented by a small numerical minority, and the fragmented memory of the African masses: between white instruction and Black imagination." The narrative approaches are thus likewise divided and splintered to break away from the wholeness and self-esteem felt by someone who is not controlled by others from the outside."

    Extractions: George Lamming (b. 1927) Barbadian novelist, critic, and social commentator, whose IN THE CASTLE OF MY SKIN (1953) is one of the classics of West Indian literature. Like Kamau Brathwaite , George Lamming has used the themes of exile and return in his search of the black West Indian identity. "The indigenous Carib and Arawak Indians, living by their own lights long before the European adventure, gradually disappear in a blind, wild forest of blood. That mischievous gift, the sugar cane, is introduced, and a fantastic human migration moves to the New World of the Caribbean; deported crooks and criminals, defeated soldiers and Royalist gentlemen fleeing from Europe, slaves from the West Coast of Africa, East Indians, Chinese, Corsicans, and Portuguese. The list is always incomplete, but they all move and meet on an unfamiliar soil, in an unpredictable and infinite range of custom and endeavour, people in the most haphazard combinations, surrounded by memories of splendour and misery, the sad and dying kingdom of Sugar, a future full of promises. And always the sea!" (from The Pleasures of Exile George Lamming was born in Carrington Village, Barbados, of mixed African and English parentage. His mother was unmarried, but after she married, Lamming grew up partly in his native village and in St David's Village, where his stepfather worked. Lamming attended Roebuck Boys' School and Combermere High School on a scholarship. Encouraged by his teacher, Frank Collymore, Lamming found the world of books and started to write.

    Extractions: Banyan Programme Catalogue Banyan Home Page Banyan Archive Summary This Month's Archive Extract Transcript of an interview with George Lamming LOCATION: East Coast, Barbados DATE: 1989 Well, after that, there is a number of journeys. I mean the first in fact, most critical one was the journey from Barbados to Trinidad. My particular relation to the Caribbean region was to a large extent formed and shaped in Trinidad through the Trinidad experience that got me to realise that there was a cultural area - a unit that was just not Barbados. It was the whole region and I think it had to do with the time I went to Trinidad. I'm arriving in Trinidad at the time when Williams is not yet in politics, but he is a very seminal influence in making Caribbean history a reality. We had grown up without that dimension and then not only as writer of something about Capitalism and Slavery, but actual articulator in person, bringing together of young people to look at documents. I always make the point that the first time I heard of the Cuban poet, Nicholas Guile and the French poet, Aime Cesaire, was through Williams who was telling me that if you are going to be a writer of and for the region, you've got to make this contact. This was before Williams came into politics. So that by the time I got to England, this seed was very firmly planted and then it blossomed there in a way because it was one of the ironies of history that here we were separated by imperialism - Jamaica from Barbados, Barbados from Trinidad and so on, but it was really at the metropole at London that we came together, so I first got to know Jamaica and Guyana and other territories at London and then that was really an extension of that learning to be a Caribbean person.

    A marxist analysis of Caribbean author george lamming s novel In the Castle of My Skin.  
    http://www.runmuki.com/paul/writing/lamming.html
    
    Extractions: URL: http://www.runmuki.com/paul/writing/lamming.html Beyond the bloodshed and brutality of conquest, colonialism is experienced on a more intimate scale. The historic scars of imperial subjugation may be revealed in the difficult relationship between a poor, rural mother and her better educated son; the trauma a village feels at a violation of its customs by an outsider; the cruel way an occupying power punishes a talented native for pursuing cultural rewards it has stimulated a desire for. The colonial tradition has resulted in societies that continue to frustrate the full development of individual personality; divide communities according to complexion, class and belief; and limit possibilities for expression and achievement. This legacy of colonialism forms a common theme for many of the writers emerging from the Anglophone Caribbean. In attempting to relate this experience as felt by both communities and individuals, these writers have used a variety of narrative forms. Earl Lovelace's novel

The following entry provides an overview of Lamming's career through 1997. For further information on his life and works, see CLC, Volumes 2, 4, and 66. Lamming is one of the most highly regarded contemporary Caribbean writers. His works about the decolonization and reconstruction of the West Indies following the end of British colonial rule are commended for their nationalistic spirit and poetic prose style. Lamming's writing focuses on finding new political and social identity and the long-lasting effects of early colonialism on the minds and actions of the Caribbean people. His use of allegory and metaphor give deeper political meaning to stories of people newly freed from the oppression of colonial rule. Lamming's writing style is experimental, often containing circular plot structures and abrupt shifts in narrative. Through his direct confrontation of old colonial rule and his inventive writing style, Lamming has become a groundbreaking writer who has paved the way for younger Caribbean authors. In the Castle of My Skin (1953) and The Emigrants (1954), were successful and well received. In 1955, Lamming visited the United States on a Guggenheim Fellowship, serving as a writer-in-residence at the University of Texas. In 1956, he was a participant in the first international Congress of Black Writers and Artists in Paris. In 1957

    A conversation between lamming and Knolly Moses about his concerns for the Caribbean.  
    http://www.panmedia.com.jm/archive/features/lamming.htm
    
    Extractions: @import "/misc/drupal.css"; @import "/modules/img_assist/img_assist.css"; Skip to content George Lamming has been described as "The Conscience of the Caribbean." His thoughful analysis and incisive commentary bring new insights to many things we in this region care about. The novelist lives in Barbados, teaching during the summer at the Unviversity of Miami, Coral Gables, and guest lectures elsewhere. Lamming speaks with writer Knolly Moses about his concerns for the region. The following are excerpts from that conversation. Moses: What do you make of the resurgence of anti-Castro activity? Lamming: It is very curious the way this provocation against Cuba coincides with the electoral fever of presidential campaiging and the republican domination of the Congress. All these things seems t o be linked. There is still a deliberate policy among certain U.S. elements to erase the social achievements of the Cuban revolution. One of the major difficulties in the region is the fact that Cuba has been identified by the United States as enemy number one. It is the nature of U.S. relations to Cuba that distorts the relation of Cuba to the rest of the Caribbean. The question is how do you normalize relations between Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean, because Cuba is a Caribbean territory. It is the normalization of relations that the U.S. is opposed to. Q: How can the Caribbean achieve its own ambitions and, at the same time, not cause a security problem for the United States?

16. George Lamming: In The Castle Of My Skin
    Chapter by chapter questions for reading the novel.  
    http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/anglophone/lamming.html
    
    Extractions: The coming-of-age novel ( Bildungsroman ) is a popular form among writers from formerly colonized nations; for their personal development has often been linked to the emergence of their homelands from colonial dependence or the personal transition from indigenous resident to immigrant. Perhaps the most widely-read and influential example from the Caribbean is the earliest, this novel by George Lamming, recounting his youth in Barbados, written shortly after he emigrated to England. Lamming makes this point vividly in his fine introduction to the Schocken Books edition of the novel, which you should read. Franz Fanon was a psychiatrist born in Martinique who worked in the French colony of Algeria and finally joined the revolution against the French. He wrote two eloquent and influential books examining racism: Black Skin/ White Masks (1952), and The Wretched of the Earth (1961). Much of his work stressed the difficulties caused by blacks trying to identify with their white oppressors. For him the failure to embrace one's own identity could be a form of mental illness.
