Description
What is ‘Caribbean Identity’? This amalgam of such a lot of diverse elements and traditions springing from the complex history of the brand new Caribbean is embodied in the person of A. S. Frankson.
Frankson’s long and distinguished public service career was once decisively shaped by the affect of Western culture through European settlement in the region, the historical background of slavery and indentured labour, native nationalism and ‘black consciousness’. He played a key role inside the British colonial system in Belize prior to its independence in 1981 and due to this fact he exemplified brand new post-colonial international idealism by pursuing an active career in the USA Peace Corps, both in Belize and his native Jamaica.
Frankson explores the great and divisive issues of the Caribbean – slavery, colonialism, colour prejudice, colonial and post-colonial government, the growth of bureaucracy and even globalisation. In the manner of a brand new Caribbean William Cobbett, conservative but radical and humane, he departs from much conventional post-colonial wisdom in pointing out some great benefits of colonial government and even colonialism in its more benign forms, as displayed in the Caribbean. In the process he gives a wealthy picture of Caribbean life from childhood to old age and the emergence of a brand new, post-colonial Caribbean world.
This is a story for all readers interested in colonial and post-colonial history and the essential question of identity in colonial societies.
