Product Description

The nation-state of Trinidad and Tobago offers a unique nation-space, as Homi K Bhabha would say, for the study of the forces and ideologies of nationalism. This book reveals how this ethnically diverse nation, independent for less than forty years, has provided fertile ground for the creative tension between the imagination of the writer and the official discourse on nationalism. Harney argues that this discourse has in turn been embedded in a struggle that propelled the nation's story. He explores the influences on the sense of national identity caused by migration and the ethnicization of migrant communities in the cities. Adding to the comparative tone of much of this book, models of nationalism and ethnicity, often based on other societies, are tested against the imaginings of Trinidad by such essayists as VS Naipaul, CLR James, Willi Chen, Valerie Belgrave and Earl Lovelace.

Using the wealth of imaginative literature produced by Trinidadians at home and abroad over the last forty years, together with European-based scholarship on theories of nationalism, this book provides a fascinating understanding of the forging of a national identity.

5-0 out of 5 stars Cultural studies in the Caribbean
Using both political and literary texts, this book illuminates postcolonial nationalist thought in Trinidad and Tobago.Applying the British cultural studies tradition, the author adds an ethnographic knowledge that makes for a rich reading.Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Cosmopolitan Trinidad
The value of this book is that readers learn of the incredible cosmopolitan history of this postcolonial nation.They also learn how creative its 1.3 million people have been in the arts, literature, music, and carnival. I recommend this book unreseverdly.

5-0 out of 5 stars Diasporic Insights
This book is an authoritive look at postcolonial Trinidad from a cultural studies perspective.It blends autonomist, feminist, and poststructuralism impulses to give the reader a rich picture of diasporic Caribbean experience.Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Reading Diasporic Nationalism
Inspired by the work and writings of C.L.R. James, this book looks for the revolution inside nationalist thinking.Along the way the author deploys a sophisticated marxism, augmented by feminist and poststructuralist sensibilities, to examine the appropriation of nationalism.Most importantly the book retains a respect for the importance of art in popular life.Highly recommended.

5-0 out of 5 stars Diasporic Analysis
The competence and thorough knowledge of the author is immediately apparent in this well-written book.The author's chapter on Valerie Belgrave and the misuse of the feminine to inscribe the nation was particularly rich.The chapter warns against the commercialization of nationalism in popular culture, but at the same time the book recognized popular culture as the source of democratic impulses in nationalism.A sophisticated analysis with much rich detail of Caribbean life in Trinidad and in the diaspora. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
By investigating the harms routinely experienced by the victims and survivors of domestic violence, both inside and outside of law, "Everyday Harm" studies the limits of what domestic violence law can - and cannot - accomplish. Combining detailed ethnographic research and theoretical analysis, Mindie Lazarus-Black illustrates the ways persistent cultural norms and ingrained bureaucratic procedures work to unravel laws designed to protect the safety of society's most vulnerable people. Lazarus-Black's fieldwork in Trinidad traces a story with global implications about why and when people gain the right to ask the court for protection from violence, and what happens when they pursue those rights in court. Why is it that, in spite of laws designed to empower subordinated people, so little results from that legislation? What happens in and around courts that makes it so difficult for people to obtain their legally available rights and protections? In the case of domestic violence law, what can such legislation mean for women's empowerment, gender equity, and protection? How do cultural norms and practices intercept the law? ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars EVERYDAY HARM
An engrossing exploration of legal reform to address the problem
of domestic violence. Professor Lazarus-Black details domestic violence as impeded by everyday practices of law and courts. I found the individual case studies of battered women seeking legal protection most absorbing, especially in light of the pointed discussion of cultural and political change.

Product Description
In the past few years much theoretical debate has explored several cultural issues in the Anglophone Caribbean, focusing on the central experience of colonialism as well as on the contemporary postcolonial condition and the possible formation of neo-colonial configurations.Some of the constituent traits of the Caribbean experience are dealt with in this study, such asthe relationship between the Caribbean and Great Britain from a cultural and literary perspective in the twentieth century, multiculturalism and ethnicity, the interplay of orality and literature and an investigation of linguistic issues, in particular the creolization of the English language under world influences.Different strands are brought together in the analysis of Sam Selvon's London trilogy--The Lonely Londoners, Moses Ascending and Moses Migrating, considering questions of identity for ex-colonials in the crucial years between the end of World War II and the 1980s in Britain, relationships between European versus African and Indian cultural heritage, clash of cultures as represented via language, ideas of national identity as an imaginative process also reflecting dynamics of power inside society.The use of Creole represents an ideal clinging to Caribbean modes of cultural survival, which is also buttressed by the postcolonial contamination of the traditional Western bourgeois genre, the novel. After the colonial demise, the genre of the novel mirrors approaches of communication more oral-oriented than those linked to Western written aesthetic values, and the strategies used by Selvon are surveyed to show the interrelationships between language, power, literature and cultural identities. The London trilogy is analysed according to linguistic, literary and cultural paradigms, shedding lights on the relevance of Selvon's work for the construction of a culturally independent Caribbean literature.It is hoped that the present book will prove immensely useful to the students and researchers of ...
