    Extractions: GUYANA UNDER SIEGE George Lamming Warns about Race by Rickey Singh HOME THE celebrated Caribbean novelist and political commentator, George Lamming, is challenging political parties and social interest groups of the Caribbean Community to make the region's ethnic/cultural diversity a cause for celebration and to exorcise "the virus of ethnic nationalism" that afflicts some of our societies. An icon of his native Barbados and the Caribbean, Lamming was at the time dealing with issues of identity and conflict, plantation culture and the creolisation process while addressing the topic of "Language and the Politics of Ethnicity." His forum was the Institute of Caribbean and Latin American Studies, York University in Toronto. The occasion, attended by hundreds, among them citizens of the Caribbean diaspora, was the fourth in the series of annual memorial lecture by the university to commemorate the life and times of Dr. Cheddi Jagan, late President of Guyana, who died on March 6, 1997, following a heart attack. At a time when ethnic divisions remain a very challenging problem in the region, particularly for societies like Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Suriname, but also with increasing tension even in Barbados, Lamming, made a diagnostic course of plantation society in this region to dismiss any reliable claim to any form of "ancestral purity."

    Extractions: Home Gateways to the World Special International Guides Fellowships ... Country Index Multiculturalism is a global phenomenon. It is the product of the 20 th Just as there is no singular cultural experience, the term multiculturalism itself has multiple meanings. A World of Books: International Multiculturalism, 2002 celebrates the diversity and complexity of human experience. It is our hope that the entries selected here will encourage discussion of the possible meanings of multiculturalism and of the challenges nations face when trying to recognize the diverse cultures within their borders. To be sure, not all aspects of cultural diversity are worthy of respect. Some cultures, for example, may support racism and sexism. Rather than assigning a positive or negative evaluation to a certain culture, A World of Books underscores both our differences and our shared attributes. This is the fifth brochure in the World of Books series, which was introduced in 1998. The series began when the Library of Congress asked its foreign area specialists to identify to the American public important and interesting books published abroad. Although our annotated entries are short and a select few, they are meant to provoke interest in the vast and exceptional international collections of the Library of Congress. It is also hoped that they will stimulate discussion of the meanings of multiculturalism and the challenges faced by diasporic communities.

    Extractions: Rebekah Allen English 100.2 Dr. Joshi 29 April 2005 Communism In the texts The Buddha of Suburbia The God of Small Things , and In the Castle of My Skin , the idea of communism is portrayed as an alluring alternative to the oppressive effects of colonization and a hierarchical social structure. In these three texts communism fails to deliver and is an abortive political philosophy. Communism does not fail simply because it is an inherently failed idea. Rather, communism fails because of the circumstances surrounding its spread as well as the innate shortcomings of the idea itself. Communism fails to deliver its proposed benefits in George Lamming’s In the Castle of My Skin The case of Trumper does make the failure of communism more complex, as he is able to leave, learn a new philosophy, and return with a different perspective on the situation in Barbados . Perhaps this offers a possibility for new ideas to be implemented and actually meet success. Trumper would in fact be an ideal leader for a communist uprising: a member of the lower class who has gained a different perspective on the political and economic situation in his hometown through his experience in America and also has recognized the effects of colonial oppression. This raises an interesting point, because it points again to the circumstances as responsible for the demise of Mr. Slime’s communism.

    Extractions: ENGL2093 Literary Islands Sep. 15, 2006 :  From colonial nationalism to a postcolonial West Indian literature At this meeting we will discuss the development of an Anglophone literature in the Caribbean against the background of colonial history, noting in particular the changes brought by the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of the slaves and by the decline of the plantation economy of sugar production. We will consider the consequences of these changes for the formation of West Indian populations, societies and cultural traditions and their aftermath in large-scale migrations that led West Indians abroad in the early 20th century in search of employment opportunities. Looking at the first set of poems in the course reader, we will discuss the ways they express sentiments of colonial nationalism, paying attention to their use of English poetic conventions and the first attempts to acknowledge and tap African-derived cultural traditions. The notes below provide more detailed information on the historical background and contexts to the emergence of an English-language literature in the Caribbean, as well as a list of references for those who are interested in further study in this area.

    Extractions: Franz Marc, 1914 "Stormy Weather" is dedicated to the memory of Francis Barker (1952-1999), close friend and colleague. I would have enjoyed our arguments about it. 1. This essay was written and submitted to Early Modern Culture before Alan Sinfield's "Selective Quotation" appeared, with the reponse by David Siar, and the response to them both by Richard Levin, so the similarity of topic is a coincidence; but a nice one inasmuch as Sinfield and Levin both feature here, though not centrally. Although written separately, and focussing exclusively on The Tempest , "Stormy Weather" now appears as the fourth contribution to a debate about quotation, paraphrase, and misreading. Two final paragraphs relate my essay to this larger debate. 2. One Friday morning, late in 1983, Francis Barker and I had travelled down to London to take part in one of a series of meetings that Methuen had organised for discussion of the Alternative Shakespeares volume which John Drakakis was editing, and to which we were contributing an essay on

    Extractions: The Circumference of Two Worlds: History and Identity in the West Indian Writer (c) 1999, Steven Salm To speak of the situation of the Negro writer is therefore to speak of a problem of Man, and more precisely, of a contemporary situation which surrounds men with an urgency that is probably unprecedented. It is to speak of the universal sense of separation and abandonment, frustration and loss, and above all, of man's direct inner experience of something missing...It is a condition which is essentially and, I believe, originally tragic. The factors which constitute the tragedy are the peculiar nature of the animal which refuses to be what he is, the sense of a distance between the individual consciousness and a total reality as it impinges upon that consciousness, the conviction, as a fact of experience, of absence. - George Lamming George Lamming, 1989 I. Introduction This is an important group of writers because they, in no insignificant way, are responsible for the liberation of Caribbean consciousness and the (re)creation of an identity separate from the oppressive shackles of slavery and colonialism. This essay relates social and political conditions to the emerging identity of the young West Indian artist in the time before many of them made their journey to London, the 'West Indian literary Mecca.'
