The interview was conducted via email in October of 2000 and was what I originally submitted to the paper. After rereading the article and interview seven years later, I still prefer the unembellished interview to the "polished" article. Charles Rhyne:: In The Atlantic Sound, you say of Liverpool, "It is disquieting to be in a place where history is so physically present, yet so glaringly absent from people's consciousness." Do you feel the same way about Charleston? Caryl Phillips:: Yes, I do. History is, of course, a story. However, the dominant narrative in Charleston seems particularly distorted to accommodate certain uncomfortable 'facts'. Such as the degree to which Charleston was important, not only in the south, but in the United States as a place to import and 'season' slaves. There is no real attempt on the part of the city to acknowledge, commemorate, and pay due respects to the African labor and intelligence, which contributed to the founding of this most beautiful of cities. CR:: Your experiences in America, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean give you a unique view of Charleston. What is your opinion of the city?

Purple Daisy Corbis Collection Buy this Giclee Print at AllPosters.com Jump down to read a review of The Nature of Blood "Dancing in the Dark" (Reviewed by Debbie Lee Wesselmann OCT 30, 2005) At the beginning of the twentieth century, an especially hostile atmosphere existed for black Americans who, not far removed from slavery, were regarded as an undesirable subclass of citizens. Expected to know their "place," blacks rarely challenged the white establishment, either politically or socially, and remained invisible except in service positions to the white establishment. In the midst of this environment, the comedic duo of Bert Williams and George Walter emerged as an entertainment force that shook Broadway to its roots by being the first black headliners, in an all-black troupe, to perform on the esteemed stages of New York. This success had its cost, however, as Bert Williams performed in black-face and played a bumbling, shuffling caricature of a black man, while Walker played his straight man.

C aryl P hillips: The Black Atlanticist Homepage Introduction About the Authors Chapter 1 ... Journeys A Black Atlantic writer is a writer who focuses on the Middle Passage, and the symbolic and literal meanings embedded in the Atlantic. Black Atlantic writers also focus on slavery, the slave trade, colonialism, post colonialism, neocolonialism, and how the slave trade developed the Americas while under developing Africa at the same time, similarly much of Phillips’ fiction and non fiction writings deal with the Atlantic slave trade and the affect it has had on the African Diaspora. Caryl Phillips is an exemplary Black Atlantic traveler and writer. He covers many subjects with Black Atlantic themes writing from the slave trade in The Atlantic Sound to post colonialism. His experience as a Black Atlantic traveler makes him a great Black Atlantic writer. Earl Campbell III Aundrietta Duncan Earl Campbell III Aundrietta Duncan Also by Earl: A Walk in Thought The South

INTRODUCTION Phillips is perhaps better known today for his novels, particularly Cambridge (1991) and Crossing the River (1993), than for his plays, which have been produced for the stage, television, radio, and cinema. In both his drama and awarding-winning fiction, Phillips consistently has related the experiences of the African diaspora in the Caribbean, Europe, and America; his works offer a historical and an international perspective on the themes of immigration (forced and other-wise), cultural and social displacement, and nostalgia for an elusive "home" that often exists in mythical proportions in the minds of his characters. Yet Phillips adamantly has refused the label "black" writer. In the preface to his play The Shelter (1983), he said: "In Africa I was not black. In Africa I was a writer. In Europe I am black. In Europe I am a black writer. If the missionaries wish to play the game along these lines then I do not wish to be an honorary white."

Printing Tips : Select "print as image" in the Acrobat print dialog if you have trouble printing. Abstract This study examines the novels of Caryl Phillips, J. M. Coetzee, and Michael Ondaatje, writers originally from post-colonial countries-St. Kitts, South Africa, and Sri Lanka respectively-who explore the ambivalences engendered by colonialism rather than conforming to a one-dimensional understanding of postcolonial literature which focuses exclusively on the reactionary nature of this type of writing. What enables these writers to transcend the simple binarisms of colonizer and colonized and to concentrate on the ambiguities of the postcolonial condition is their use of postmodern stylistic elements which emphasize complexity and irresolution. Phillips embraces postmodern fragmentation by segmenting his fiction into multiple, often unrelated stories. In opting to juxtapose fragments of stories, Phillips matches his narrative form to his thematic interest in the dislocation experienced by people of the African diaspora. The first chapter examines

We're very conscious that in this building at the moment there is the most wonderful exhibition, which tells the history of English literature from the time of King Alfred and later Beowulf through to J.K.

That's something we want to explore during the course of this conversation, but we want to explore other things, such as what people read if they grew up in imperial circumstances. Caryl Phillips.

What are these? Reviewed by Margaret Busby Friday, 21 September 2007 "All people who have reached the point of becoming nations tend to despise foreigners," wrote George Orwell, "but there is not much doubt that the English-speaking races are the worst offenders... as soon as they become fully aware of any foreign race they invent an insulting nickname for it." Orwell's thesis came to mind more than once while I was reading Caryl Phillips's Foreigners, a triptych of portraits as hard to pigeonhole as are its protagonists. Shifting perspectives, a variety of styles and genres combining fiction, biography and reportage are the tools used to excavate the layered lives of three foreign Englishmen, united by their colour, outsider/insider status, and that they all met sorry ends in real life. As Phillips reminds us, Black people have been present in English life since the Roman occupation. Nevertheless, the perception of Black foreigners as an unassimilable and escalating presence has plagued the English for centuries. In 1601, Elizabeth I issued a proclamation ordering the expulsion of "blackamoors". By 1764, The Gentleman's Magazine was bemoaning that "The practice of importing Negroe servants into these kingdoms is said to be already a grievance", and "yet it is every day encouraged... the number in this metropolis only, is supposed to be near 20,000".

Achebe, Phillips: Talking Africa and the Diaspora BY MOLARA WOOD Guardian 6.11.05 HUNDREDS were at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall (QEH) for the final event in the Africa 05 literature series, featuring Chinua Achebe. He was in conversation with novelist Caryl Phillips - considering the dialogue between writers in Africa and those in the African diaspora; moderating was Lyn Innes, a professor of literature. Born on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, Caryl Phillips was brought to Leeds, England, at age four months. "He may well be known as Mr Diaspora himself," quipped Innes, who described Phillips as the ideal person for a discussion with Africa's foremost novelist. Phillips spoke of the "vexed relationship" between the African writer and those in the African diaspora, recalling that two African students in 1930s Europe, Leopold Sedar Senghor and AimZ CZsaire, were concerned with the same. In a Paris cafZ, they mounted a "stern questioning of French colonial rule." According to Phillips, they "were concerned that their works only received validation when seen through European eyes; this may be fine for some writers, but not these two." Both returned to their respective countries - CZsaire to his native Martinique and Senghor to Senegal - but were in Paris in 1956 for the first Conference of Negro-African Writers and Artists. The writer James Baldwin, on exile in Paris, reported on the conference for the magazine, The Encounter. He chronicled the debates on negritude and the unease between African Americans and other people of colour; the five-man delegate from Black America, including the writer Richard Wright, felt isolated - especially after WEB Dubois wrote to say he was denied a visa to attend the conference.
