Usain Bolt and his three world record GOLD medals - a phenomenal feat - notwithstanding, it is the performances by our women led by Shelley- Ann Fraser in the 100 meters and Veronica Campbell in the 200 meters that confirmed my long held view about the centra…

  • Sir Philip Sherlock

    Rex NettlefordARTICLECaribbean Quarterly2008

    Almost anything that 1 say about Sir Philip Sherlock would be to gild the anthurium - the anthurium being the gift of a life of hope and fulfillment creatively crafted and deftly lived as part of a process of transformation, growth and development of an entire society in quest of itself, of its reason for being, for over half a century. Philip Manderson Sherlock had been at the beginning, since the late Thirties, of all the great challenges facin…

The article refers specifically to the case of Haiti (Saint-Domingue), both to its liberation and to its impact on the rest of the slave-holding world, as well as to w…

  • The Commonwealth—reconnection and renewal

    Rex NettlefordARTICLEThe Round Table2004

    The reconnection needed between members of the Commonwealth, old and new, developed and developing, may well turn on a future that is dedicated to the development of education and the imagination. Nothing short of an expansiveness of thought, embracing a new vision of a groping rainbow world, a new sense of self and new ways of knowing to underpin new ways of living, can guarantee safe conduct into the third millennium. The Commonwealth, as a mic…
