words: 2583

summary: Though Reis asserts that this “…has helped the diaspora maintain that level of connectivity with the homeland through the diffusion of cultural images” (Reis 2006, 49) I would say that the very fact that celebrations of Caribbean culture have become mainstreamed and commercialized undermines that project of passing on cultural values to second generation immigrants. Reis contends that “the region is actually composed of a plethora of diasporas,” making Caribbean immigrants living in the West “twice diasporised” - first from Africa (and other regions) to the islands of the Caribbean and then from the Caribbean to Europe and North America (Reis 2006, 46-47).

summary: While in Jane Eyre Bertha’s death is as marginal as her existence, with the sole purpose of clearing the way for Jane’s and Rochester’s marriage, in Wide Sargasso Sea, death represents Antoinette’s salvation from her colonial relationship with Rochester. Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea “bears witness” (46), as Bhabha suggests, to the unequal cultural representation in Jane Eyre; it offers the radical revision of the narrative.

The foreground and background share an intrinsic correlation, contrasting the way in which Caribbean reality is juxtaposed to the tourist's ideal.

summary: This paper will argue that indentured labour, though non- existent in the Caribbean today and less apparent in the rest of the world, continues structurally in the form of migrant labour. If indentured labour can be read as a cloaked “slavery,” then, as this paper has argued, migrant labour certainly can be read as a continuation of indentureship.

summary: “1947 onwards marked racial integration in American baseball with players such as Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby opening up the field of organized baseball for Latin American players.” Sugar intensely captures the narrow, burdensome path baseball creates into the Western world for Dominican players, the struggle of adjusting to American culture and the ever- looming machine of the MLB that commodifies Latin American and Caribbean players.28 Accustomed to racially inclusive leagues in the Caribbean and Latin America, players who migrated to American baseball were largely unprepared for the level of discrimination and racism entrenched in American society.

summary: Slave revolts and breakouts also swelled the ranks of the Maroons, particularly incorporating those ex-slaves who had the wherewithal and organizational skills to destroy their enslavers from within the plantation (Patterson, p.256). From all accounts the Windward Maroons (and even high ranking members of the Leeward Maroons) were disgusted by this treaty, but with Cudjoe tolerating no dissent in his own camp and threatening to ally with the British against the Windwards, Windward leader Quao had little choice but to sign a similar treaty (ibid., 274).

summary: The primary motive for Caribbean migration has been the intent to improve economic circumstances, therefore migration out of the region persists when the perception of opportunities abroad outweigh the real opportunities at home.1 Migration rates from the Caribbean remain high and are steadily rising which indicates that the crumbling economic and social structures which sustain such rates continue to degrade.2 As a result, Caribbean countries continue to experience the loss of highly skilled men and women to more industrialized parts of the world. The United Kingdom had been the traditional recipient of Caribbean migrants from 1948, but political shifts in Britain restricted Caribbean migration in the 1960s.

summary: It has been argued that French departmentalization as a path to decolonization appears more complex and rational than a mere unwillingness to gain political independence. The very struggle between reactionary conservatism and republican democracy that marked French political history since the Great Revolution until Vichy – a struggle which could be argued still exists today in the form of civic versus ethnic nationhood – was the dialogical opposition between the Creole elite and the centre‟s government, as well as between the elite and the local discriminated population.

This essay will argue that Maroon societies acted as an entity of defiance against slave communities, even though intricate organizational structures had an atypical symbiotic relationship with them.

summary: This will be followed by an examination of the Haitian state in theoretical context, which will outline the impediments to future leftist governance in Haiti proposing the development of political strategies aside from the pursuit of state power. Such strategies are undoubtedly being pursued in Haiti on a smaller scale, and this paper argues that they are likely to be more efficacious than those grounded in the pursuit of state office.

summary: Their financial independence meant that there was a greater tendency for them to participate in the market economy as autonomous agents giving them more freedom than their rural counterparts.11 Since powerful white men dominated the centre of the urban economy, many white women operated on the periphery as owners and managers of taverns, sex-houses, and slave rental services.12 While the urban economy provided white women with greater independence in a society based on patriarchal power, it could also work to further subjugate women of colour. In the early stages of slavery, poor white women experienced both class and gender discrimination but as slavery matured, the status of all white women was elevated above women of colour, regardless of class.9 It appears that white women sought autonomy through financial independence, but their success depended on where they resided.

The violently relentless suppression of Vodou, both in Saint-Domingue and post-independence Haiti, has proved unsuccessful because of the decentralized nature of the religion and its history as an oral tradition.

Laughlin, Eugenical Sterilization in the United States (pp. 440-441) Puerto Rican women have consistently constituted the highest prevalence of sterilized women in the world.1 Many scholars question whether or not a negative eugenics campaign has been waged on the island by U.S. and Puerto Rican biomedical researchers, scientists, and public health officials in order to reduce and even potentially eliminate the Puerto Rican population,2 a 1 Bonnie Mass, “Puerto Rico: A Case Study of Population Control,” Latin American Perspectives, Issue 15, Vol. IV, No. 4 (Fall 1977):78.

summary: The Dutch were obligated to guarantee good governance while at the same time granted the local government the responsibility of overseeing local affairs.21 The Netherlands, therefore, believed that they needed to remove themselves from future obligations by dismantling the Netherlands Antilles.22 For the Netherlands Antilles political independence was synonymous with economic decline. The Charter was designed to grant Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles the rights to self-government while also remain part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.14 The Charter defined foreign affairs, defense, citizenship, and safeguarding proper governmental administration as matters of interest that would be governed by the Kingdom.15 With final authority over these affairs, the Netherlands believed that they were ensuring good governance and fundamental human rights in the Netherlands Antilles and Surinam.16 Paul Sutton lists that good governance is recognized as having a “broad range of concerns focused on open, transparent and accountable government; efficient, effective and responsive administration; and respect for human rights and law.”17

summary: Regional integration across the British West Indies, albeit short-lived as the West Indies Federation (1958- 1962), or WIF, showed Caribbean people that unity was possible. Perhaps a seemingly apolitical decision, this collaboration demonstrates mutual admiration and reminds Caribbean people that their differences are not significant.

summary: In applying Barth’s framework, modern Bahamian identity has developed—and is largely understood—in comparison to a Haitian ‘other.' By aligning themselves with the general colonial archetype, most British settlers and officials held the racial prejudices of Bahamian whites and saw non-whites as child- like, dependent, [and] irresponsible loafers in the sun(Kiernan 201).

summary: U.S. hegemonic force would continue to assert its political influence. This paper suggests that despite independence, The Bahamas remains subjected to the dependent role under a system of white privilege resulting from colonial agreements made with the United States, multi-national agencies, and regulatory bodies that enforce a hegemonic reconstruction of influence.

summary: James, who was a very outspoken supporter of the Federation, encouraged nationalism instead, to consider the West Indians as a whole rather than East Indian-West Indians. Indians went out of their way to support other Indians within their respective country of residence but could not adopt the idea of united nationalism, because this would include the Africans.

summary: After the death of his father, Thomas “Indian” Warner suffered at the hands of his stepmother on the island of his birth, Antigua (Hulme and Mollie Sheptenko The Life and Person of Indian Warner 63 Whitehead 95; Dampier 90). The overwhelming sentiment to acquit Colonel Philip Warner after he had murdered his own half- brother (who had been labeled “a slave”, not a son of Sir Thomas Warner), coupled with the English Secretary of State’s plea to “seek justice for ‘Indian’ Warner” so as not to tarnish the image of the British in the eyes of the indigenous Kalinago peoples exhibit the utter self- centeredness colonizing nations and their great abuse of an individual’s ethnic hybridity.

Rhonda Reddock further argues that the contempt for marriage among slave women was because “it meant extra work and being confined to one man” when both men and women often maintained multiple relation- ships.

summary: However, there are further aspects that are not often given due weight in consideration, including the numerous subtle and intricately intertwined ways Colonialism impacted the region scientifically, specifically through disease and immunological degradation. This research paper seeks to highlight and consid- er the multiple ways in which the region was not only affected but also infected by disease and Colonialism.

words: 3089

summary: Many of the strengths of the political experiment in Grenada can be identified in the first few years following the formation of the PRG government (led by NJM members and Bishop as Prime Minister), where revolutionary spirits were high and people’s political participation was in full force. Alongside raising the political morale of the people, the PRG government allocated considerable time, effort and investment into transforming Grenada’s education system.

summary: This is indicative of beauty standards in Borinquen since consuming Miss Puerto Rico and Miss Universe is extremely important to Puerto Ricans; because the island is 4th in the world—af- ter The Philippines, the United States, and Venezuela— for the most Miss Universe titles, winning the pageant is paramount. Meanwhile, in Puerto Rico, Miss Puerto Rico 2018—Ki- ara Ortega—was only “the third woman with noticeably mixed (African and Indigenous) features to win Miss Universe Puerto Rico after Alba Reyes in 2004 and Zuleyka Rivera in 2006.”

summary: “The Treasury’s tweet shows slavery is still misunderstood,” The Guardian, February 12, 2018, Randall Robinson, The Debt, What America Owes To Blacks (New York: Plume Books, 2000), 216. 5 4 The historical events of colonial slavery were undeniably tragic; however, repara- tions discourse also looks to ending the “continuing dispossession” of the oppressed communities colonial systems created. Fundamentally, this paper argues that the notion that colonisation was left behind in the 19th century with the abolition of slavery or mid-20th Century with the political indepen- dence of Caribbean nation-states is a facade and uses reparations discourse as the foremost example of such.

summary: Some people did question the legitimacy of the exhibit, but most people believed its content because historically, people being presented in cages is something that Western countries have done many times before. The performance, The Couple in the Cage: A Guatinaui Odyssey, addresses notions of authenticity by showcasing how the idea of the Other is presented to people throughout the world and how the story of the fictional characters was enough to convince many people that a new island and ‘type’ of people had been discovered.

summary: By thwarting the cycle of productivity on which slavery depended, enslaved expectant mothers developed an independence of mind that would emerge in more concrete forms during the Haitian Revolution. Enslaved expectant mothers believed that revolution would put an end to slavery and that their unborn children were essential in achieving this outcome.

date: 2022-02-04
words: 3943
flesch: 43
summary: This paper will examine Jamaica under the Michael Manley government and Grenada under Maurice Bishop and the New Jewel Movement, arguing that reformist methods in the Global South, despite their tenden- cies toward upholding capitalistic institu- tions, are seen as being just as threatening as their revolutionary counterparts in the minds of Global North actors. Jamaica Before and After Indepen- dence: Alexander Bustamante and the State Jamaica prior to independence was grappling with the final vestiges of overt colonialism and was largely subject to the influence on Alexander Bustamante. It becomes clear that even a measured, reform-based attempt at curbing the negative externalities associated with capitalism politics will result in significant backlash from Global North actors.

summary: The longstanding relationship between the United States and the Caribbean region is evident, leading to the populariza- tion of the regional idiom, “when the US sneezes, the Caribbean catches a cold.” The impact of the BLM Move- ment on the Caribbean is comparable to that of the Civil Rights and Pan Africanism movements of the latter half of the 20th century and reminds the world of the significance of regional revolutions such as the Grenada Revolution.

summary: This research uses the context of Jamaica as a case study as its prior Democratic Socialism reforms provide a baseline for future iterations and due to its current dependence on tourism as a primary industry. Continuing along this train of thought, with the government dependent on tourism for revenue, the unemployed labour force dependent on the government, and the pandemic wildly controlling the reigns of the economy, parallels arise, that mirror Jamaica’s economic state in the latter half of the 20th century during former Prime Minister Michael Manley’s term in office.

summary: Many extinction narra- tives in Trinidad have been preserved through continued miscegenation between Indigenous communities and other ethnic groups, and through the localization of Indigenous groups to specific parts of Trinidad. A recent study done on the biogeographical ancestries of Indigenous communities in Trinidad and Tobago found that patterns of genetic variation were consistent with the historical records of migration on the island prior to and after Spanish coloniza- tion.

summary: The super exploitation of Black women was an issue close to Jones’ heart likely because of her family’s experience of her mom dying at 37 from strenuous working conditions in a garment industry job. In the column, Jones recommended texts from authors around the world who were pursuing socialism, including books on women in China and the Soviet Union, ‘The Woman Question’ (which included ideas from Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin), and biographies of influential Black women, including Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman.

summary: For many, food fulfils a nostal- gic desire for a lost homeland and makes Little Jamaica a liminal space between the homeland and the host land.9 Many community members described the food as a key- stone of cultural identity in the Caribbean diaspora. Drawing on interviews with community members and local activists, this essay examines how the Carib- bean community in Little Jamaica constructs cultural identity through food, highlighting a tension between authenticity and hybridity that exists within this cultural identity.

summary: China views these projects as lucrative [con- struction] activities whose profit has to go to Chinese firms, systematically excluding local labourers and con- struction companies from participating in these ventures.14 As a result of its preferential selection of Chinese contrac- tors, China 'exports thousands of migrants to the Caribbean countries it sends assistance to, with a significant number of Chinese migrants sent to work on development projects staying in the country and creating distinct communities known for their ownership of successful small busi- nesses.15 Beijing strategically includes terms in develop- ment projects that prevent partner states from limiting Chi- nese migrant inflows and preventing recipient states from establishing economic barriers regulating migrants' in- volvement and ownership activities in domestic indus- tries.16 As a result, Beijing’s assistance projects drastically increase Chinese migrant inflows to the Caribbean, allow- ing China to use these groups to enhance Beijing’s soft power in the region.17 In combination with his coursework, these experiences have cultivated an interest in how strategic competition between the United States and China has affected the Caribbean.

summary: Analysis The case studies discussed in this essay have shown that the realities of exclusionary citizenship and the undermin- ing of sovereignty through the crippling of self-determina- tion negate the existence of traditional citizenship and sov- ereignty in the Caribbean.30 Instead, this essay argues that these concepts exist in complicated and contradictory forms in the Caribbean because the expectation that con- ventional citizenship and sovereignty exist stems from Western ideals’ imposition on Caribbean society. The concept of citizenship will be disproven by contrasting birthright citizenship and promises of inclusion with the exclusionary policies seen in the Dominican Republic towards those of Haitian Caribbean Quilt Journal Homepage: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cquilt/index CARIBBEAN QUILT 2023 VOL.

summary: Due to this fact, Guyana relied heavily on for- eign governments to maintain some form of balance, which allowed both countries to directly interfere with the racial tensions in Guyanese society and utilize them to change who the leader and party in power were.34 As Britain had monopolized racial tensions during the co- lonial era, it was not a surprise that they did it again in Guyana pre-independence by instigating the split of the original PPP party in the 1950s into an Indian party and an African party. Her Indo-Caribbean heritage has spurred her love for Caribbean history and instilled a desire to shed lights on the histories of the West Indies that are so often overlooked, specifically Guyana and Trinidad post-emancipation.

summary: This is impressive by any measure and is a testament to the high-quality work that Caribbean Studies students are pro- ducing, the questions they are asking and the gaps they are filling through their creative re- search and insightful analyses. This year, the Caribbean Studies program is deeply indebted to the hard work and dedication of two student leaders who stepped up big time to produce Volume 7 of the Caribbean Quilt, Alyssa Nurse (of the Caribbean Studies Students’ Union) and Brittney Bahadoor (of the West Indian Students’ Association).

title: DEFINE AND EMPOWER: Black Feminist Discourse in a Caribbean Context
date: 2023-05-29
words: 3201
flesch: 49
summary: It may be a point of contention that black enslaved women (such as Sabina Park), and modern free Black women Lady Saw and Audre Lord can and should be recognized as black feminist icons sharing the same space, and the fact that their inclusion is considered potentially contentious speaks to the residual colonial pressures that stain the Caribbean region and the world today. In light of this, black women have frequently been forced to create narratives and discourses through art, music, resistance and scholarship.

This paper examines the extent to which Plantation Economy scholarship can explain the current production structure of Guyana's extractive oil and mineral industries.
