Full textMaroon communities are often portrayed as renegade groups of Africans living within or on the fringes of some of the more popular slave societies such as Jamaica, Saint-Domingue (Haiti), Suriname, or Brazil, whose purpose or goals in their existence was never to strive towards universal emancipation of the African lot, and whose resistance and radicalism, if occurring during the Age of Revolution (i.e. Haiti), is often attributed to European influences during that era. This socio-cultural and political history about a lesser known group of maroons in Dominica challenges the preconceived notions of African maroonage and resistance, and is original in four ways: One, this dissertation demonstrates that the maroons of Dominica who lived in the interior of the island worked with the enslaved population on plantations on several occasions to overthrow the British colonial government in an attempt to assist their African brethren in freedom; Secondly, this work highlights the African origins of the spiritual and political philosophies, particularly the lesser credited Igbo, who comprised of a significant portion of Africans in Dominica, are what guided their anti-slavery and anti-colonial resistance; Thirdly, the maroons and enslaved populations, who demonstrated alliances with one another in Dominica during the 1790s and early nineteenth century were not influenced by French Revolutionary ideals, but were pursued for an alliance, and the former, in particular, often rejected alliances with French Revolutionary sympathizers; Lastly, this dissertation takes the maroons of Dominica outside the confines of a national history and connects it to the greater African Diaspora.
Rossignoli, Sabina. "Diasporic identification and gender construction in the Caribbean nightlife of Paris." Thesis, Paris 5, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA05H021.
Full textThis thesis explores the forms of identification adopted by French Caribbean clubbers in the Parisian region in relation to the issues of gender and diaspora. My hypothesis is that clubbing is a cultural space that fosters diasporic identities and transnational socialities. Methodologically the thesis is the result of fourteen months of participant observation in Paris and one in Martinique. First I have investigated the human geographies of Antillean clubs in the banlieues of Paris by analyzing in detail the residential patterns and sense of class belonging of my informants. Next I have inscribed the night-time leisure practices in the migration patterns of these informants. I argue that the transnational character of Caribbean nightlife is a testimony to relevant diasporic constructions that have not previously been explored. However my thesis underlines how these constructions were not unproblematic for female participants. The second part of the thesis focuses on the specific transnational and diasporic character of zouk, a French Caribbean music genre. I conclude having investigated issues of gender inequality in clubs and the strategies women employ in order to participate in the dancehall scene

Full textEsta tesis adopta un enfoque transatlántico en su exploración de la identidad y la representación mediante el examen de las prácticas artísticas en áreas del Caribe, Europa y Estados Unidos. Aunque el interés de esta disertación se focaliza en la diáspora afro-caribeña, específicamente en la generación Windrush en Gran Bretaña, este trabajo también incluye otras comunidades inmigrantes y marginadas de BIPOC para enfatizar la importancia social, cultural y política del arte que es representativa de la diversidad que existe dentro de las ciudades contemporáneas.Este es un estudio etnográfico que incorpora observación de participantes, entrevistas e investigación de archivo. Es poscolonial por su enfoque en el lugar como identidad definitoria, y llena una brecha académica en el campo de la historia británica. Se basa en la disciplina de los estudios culturales, pero es de naturaleza interdisciplinaria.En un esfuerzo por entender el sesgo implícito, la intolerancia y el racismo, esta tesis analiza los nombres de los lugares y la conexión psicológica que tienen las personas con los lugares. Al examinar las prácticas e instituciones artísticas, se exploran las formas en que los espacios públicos son racializados y se tienen en cuenta las cuestiones de género. Con ese fin, el arte público, específicamente los murales comprometidos con la comunidad, se contrasta con las instituciones de arte tradicionales. Se argumenta que tales murales desafían el status quo racializado y permiten una representación que de otro modo no sería reconocida.Mientras que esta tesis se basa en varias ubicaciones geográficas y poblaciones, el foco está en Bristol, Inglaterra, y los miembros de la generación de Windrush. En este sentido, se examina el pasado colonial del país, se discuten las maneras racializadas en que los lugares públicos están marcados dentro de Bristol y se introduce la creación creativa de lugares a través de murales comprometidos con la comunidad como un medio para perturbar el status quo.Después de proporcionar un análisis socio-histórico, esta disertación presenta el Sendero de Arte y Patrimonio Seven Saints of St. Pauls®, que consiste en siete murales a gran escala de individuos de la generación Windrush. Sostengo que este sendero patrimonial contribuye a la habitabilidad de Bristol al proporcionar una representación positiva y auténtica de una comunidad de británicos negros, al tiempo que interrumpe de manera efectiva el status quo espacial racializado.
Moïse, Myriam. "African Caribbean Women Writers in Canada and the USA : can the Diaspora Speak?" Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030086.
Full textThis dissertation examines the specific discourse produced by diasporic African Caribbean women writers in Canada and the USA, namely Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson, Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Olive Senior. These authors’ ambivalent positions as both cultural insiders and outsiders are conveyed through their prose and poetry, in which they reclaim their histories, bodies and tongues. The thesis highlights discourse operations in demonstrating that the selected authors articulate new forms of subjectivity, hence proving that cultural identities do not depend on static territories but rather on mobile and even volatile cultural spaces. Besides reconstructing the past through a discourse that truly unsettles hegemonic versions of history, African Caribbean diasporic women writers represent their bodies beyond materiality and choose to embrace their cultural schizophrenia. Their projects consist in un-silencing the unruly selves through the creation of embodied polyphonies, multiple counter-voices and anti-conformist utterances. The discursive constructions of the self therefore occur outside of canonical terminology, as these women writers resist single-voiced discourse and favour heteroglossic rhetorics. Ultimately, this comparative literary analysis is innovative as it proves that diasporic memories, tongues and identities are interlinked, and that beyond their respective agendas and personal discursive strategies, these authors are limbo writers who, like limbo dancers, transform instability into a recreative and artistic experience. They inscribe their self-representations into a powerful dialectic of movement, fluidity, plurality and hybridity, and truly demonstrate that the feminine Caribbean diaspora can speak

Full textM.L.A.
This work addresses the following question: How has the prominent scholarly literature on the Cayman Islands promoted a discourse that serves to undermine the acknowledgment of African contributions as well as African self-identification in the country? Utilizing an Afrocentric inquiry, the method of content analysis was employed to interrogate selected texts using location theory. It was found that the majority of literature on the Cayman Islands, as well as the dominant ideology within the Caribbean has indeed undermined the acknowledgement of African contributions as well as African self-identification in the country. More scholarship is needed that examines the experiences of African descended people living in the Caribbean from their own perspective, and critically engages dislocated texts.

Full textO objetivo desta dissertação é analisar os romances Geographies of Home (1999), da escritora dominicana-americana Loida Martiza Pérez, e Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), da escritora haitiana-americana Edwidge Danticat. Ambos os romances tratam de famílias caribenhas que migram para os Estados Unidos por questões econômicas ou por razões políticas. Nos dois romances, personagens centrais são vítimas de abuso sexual. Em Geographies of Home, Marina é estuprada por um astrólogo negro e acaba por violentar sua irmã Iliana. Em Breath, Eyes, Memory, Martine é violentada por sua mãe através de testes de virgindade que se encerram quando Martine é estuprada por um membro do exército particular do ditador François Duvalier. Entretanto, apesar de ressentir a prática dos testes, Martine os repete quando sua filha Sophie cresce. Como sujeitos diaspóricos, estas personagens são influenciadas tanto pelos seus lugares de origem como pela cultura do país anfitrião. Assim, eu analiso o pano de fundo histórico e político da República Dominicana e do Haiti. Eu também discuto as motivações que levaram aos estupros retratados nos romances e exploro conseqüências físicas e psicológicas das memórias traumáticas causadas pela violência sexual. Eu também exploro a conexão entre a violência dirigida aos corpos das personagens femininas e a violência contra a nação
The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the novels Geographies of Home (1999), written by the Dominican-American novelist Loida Maritza Pérez, and Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), by Edwidge Danticat, a Haitian-American writer. Both novels deal with Caribbean families that migrate to the United States, primarily for economic and political reasons. In both novels, main characters are victims of sexual abuse. In Geographies of Home, Marina is raped by a black astrologer and ends up violating her sister Iliana. In Breath, Eyes, Memory, Martine is violated by her mother through virginity tests that end when Martine is raped by a member of the Dictator François Duvaliers private army. However, despite resenting the testing practice, Martine repeats it when her daughter Sophie grows up. As diasporic subjects, these characters are influenced both by their places of origin and the culture of the host nation. Thus, I analyze the historical and political background of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. I also discuss the motivations that led to the rapes portrayed in the novels, and I explore the physical and psychological consequences of the traumatic memories caused by sexual violence. I also explore the connection between violence directed towards the bodies of female characters and the violence perpetrated against the nation

Full textThis doctoral thesis focuses on the evolution of the social, political and cultural representations of the Caribbean diaspora in Great Britain since the second half of the twentieth century. It puts forward the hypothesis that integration is linked to representations and will only be successful when the negative representation of the colonial era is completely deconstructed. In the 1950s and 1960s, the members of the Caribbean diaspora were the passive victims of racial discrimination and social inequality. At the end of the 1960s, thanks to a growing political awareness and the emergence of Black self-help and protest groups encouraged by the U.S. Black Power movement, the diaspora began to weave its own new post-colonial social, political and cultural representations. Examples of the various strategies deployed to cast off detrimental colonial representations are analyzed. Representations have undoubtedly changed, but the results are mixed. Numerous reports indicate that institutional racism has not been eradicated from the British education system or from the police and that the younger generations are particularly vulnerable. At the beginning of the twenty-first century and after over sixty years of presence in the country, the Caribbean diaspora in Great Britain has still not achieved full integration

Full textPostcolonial writers have been engaged in exposing the painful legacies of slavery and colonialism, through the reclaiming of histories that have been appropriated and distorted by master narratives. The investigation and retelling of the lost past of former colonies has been a strategy used to reconstruct identities fragmented as a result of the multiple oppressions that authors have suffered or witnessed. Michelle Cliff is a diasporic Jamaican-born novelist, poet, and essayist who lives in the United States. She is one of the many postcolonial voices committed to a literature of resistance that struggles for cultural decolonization and encourages the feeling of belonging. The aim of this dissertation is to analyze Cliffs semi-autobiographical novels, Abeng (1984) and No Telephone to Heaven (1987) that deal with matters related to colonial and post-colonial practices. The two novels portray the saga of the protagonist Clare Savage, through which Cliff reveals the impact of colonization on the Caribbean, exposes the configurations of power deriving from the intertwining of race, class, and gender, and criticizes the misrepresentation of Jamaicas history, which is disseminated through the colonial education Jamaicans have been subjected to. The author also explores the effects diasporas have on the process of identity construction and the movement from diasporic subjects to rescue and recreate a history of their own

Focusing on time, space and characters, this research work is aimed at making a distinction between history and adventure in these three works that refer to significant periods in the history of Spain (the conquest, the Golden Age). The numerous references to the expulsion of the Moriscos or the Sephardic diaspora show the author's willingness to work as a historian by saving fromoblivion some parts of Spanish history neglected by official history. This historical exploitation goes hand in hand with fictionalizing the historical matter _such as the discovery of America or piracy in the seventeenth century in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean seas_ which makes it possible for the author to create adventure. This adventure is experienced by the heroes as a search for identity that leads them, through the crossing of countless spaces, to their promised land; whichgives them potent human depth

This paper outlines the emergence of black festivities around Christmas holidays, in Brazil and the Caribbean during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Its main objective is to identify its dynamic processes of transformation, as well as strategies used by slaved Africans to both adapt to the "new world ", and to perpetuate the ties that bound them to Africa, a necessary step to resist colonial power embodied into oppression and violence. In addition to the seasonality of the period between Christmas and January 6, these black festivities share fragments of performative literacies , which inspite of their similarities and differences are revealing the contribution of African civilization in the Americas. We propose to "read" these festivities through, mainly, cultural practices, customs and the African body which in its displacement uploaded experiences and knowledge
Este trabalho acompanha a emergência de festas de protagonismo negro, de ocorrência no ciclo natalino, em regiões do Brasil e do Caribe, durante os séculos XVIII e XIX. O objetivo é identificar seus dinâmicos processos de transformação, bem como estratégias de adaptação ao novo mundo a que africanos escravizados, burlando a repressão e a violência do poder colonial, lançaram mão para perpetuarem os vínculos que os ligavam à África. Para além da sazonalidade do período, compreendido entre Natal e 6 de janeiro, essas festas negras partilham fragmentos de textos performativos , que em suas similaridades e diferenças são reveladores do aporte civilizacional africano nas Américas.
