Own Way
The author came of age in the 1970s, an important period in her life and in the history of the Caribbean region. But seeds were planted and glimpses of her future were already visible from an early age. Her mother used to say that she was a lucky child; it didn't feel like it at the time, but on reflection, the author's life has been a series of new and pioneering adventures. This essay provides personal reflections on her life and work and the f…

Decolonial Perspectives on Entangled Inequalities

Women Plantation Workers
Competing victimhoods
This essay seeks to interrupt the dominant discourse on race, ethnicity, gender and class (intersectionality) globally, which has focussed on the experiences of ‘whites’ with their others, primarily in North America and Europe and shift it to the post-colonial multi-ethnic societies of the Global South. It draws on the historical experience of Trinidad and Tobago, the multi-ethnic nation-state comprising the two most southerly islands of the Cari…
South Asian Plantation Histories and their Enduring Legacies
T rinidad and T obago
The concepts of diversity, race, and ethnicity are integral to analyses on the multiethnic society of Trinidad and Tobago; but these notions are not easily defined, nor are they simply understood within the country's context. It is impossible to understand the intricacies of these multiethnic identities without reference to the historical and social processes that have strongly influenced the interpretations of the term “race,” since the legacies…

Breaking the Silence of Child Sexual Abuse in the Caribbean
In Trinidad and Tobago, little data exists on child sexual abuse, although there are many anecdotal reports of high prevalence. The Breaking the Silence Gender and Community Empowerment Model is a multidisciplinary intervention to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse in Trinidad and Tobago. It is an innovative, gender-sensitive intervention that uses a community based action research methodology anchored in a national framework. Preliminary …
Radical Caribbean social thought
The Caribbean, that first place of significant European conquest, colonialism, large-scale transportation and varying levels of forced or coerced migration and labour, provided the impetus for many 'race theories' of the 18th and 19th centuries. This article explores the engaged scholarship of radical intellectuals of the English-speaking Caribbean emerging from this racially defined colonial context that emerged over the early to mid-20th centur…
Changes in HIV needs identified by the National Aids Hotline of Trinidad and Tobago
AIDSLINE is a well-utilized tool for providing information and counseling on national HIV-related issues, and a valid, cost-effective, easily accessed information source for planners and policy-makers involved in HIV management. Over the two study periods, there was an increase in HIV awareness and testing and in requests related to mental health, CSA, and IPV, but no change in sexual behaviors

Gender equality, Pan-Africanism and the diaspora
In 2003, the same year that the African Union (AU) officially recognised a role for the African diaspora in the future of continental Africa, it also adopted the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa, a document which seeks to enhance women's human rights across the Union. These official actions by this body, representing the vision of a more unified Africa, marks a new stage in a history of interactions, conversations and collaborations betw…

Interrogating Caribbean Masculinities
Interrogating Caribbean Masculinities is an anthology of new Caribbean scholarship on masculinities. The content reflects a range of disciplinary approaches, including anthropology, history, international relations, literary criticism and art and installation. Special attention is paid to the interaction of power and sexuality in the construction of masculine identities. To understand how men express and exert power, it is necessary to include th…
Jahaji Bhai
This paper explores the issues of ethnicity and identity in the post‐colonial Caribbean with special reference to Trinidad and Tobago. As with other multi‐ethnic post‐colonial societies, the collapse of post‐World‐War II promises of unified national projects based on the nation‐state or class politics has seen the re‐emergence of racial/ethnic based trajectories. In the context of the contestations of ethnicity, class, and gender in Trinidad and …
Contestations Over Culture, Class, Gender And Identity In Trinidad And Tobago
Like monkeys pleading for evolution, each claiming to be whiter than the other, Indians and Negroes appeal to the unacknowledged white audience to see how much they despise one another. They despise one another by reference to whites; and the irony is that their antagonism should have reached its peak today, when white prejudices have ceased to matter. Studies of social stratification, race, ethnicity and pluralism have characterised Caribbean so…
Women's Organizations and Movements in the Commonwealth Caribbean
In this paper I explore the emergence of women's organizations and feminist consciousness in the twentieth century in the English-speaking (Commonwealth) Caribbean. The global ideas concerning women's equality from the 1960s onwards clearly informed the initiatives taken by both women and states of the Caribbean. None the less, the paper illustrates, by use of examples, the interlocked nature of women's struggles with the economic, social and pol…
