In the Penumbra of the Antillean Hallucination
This intervention in the problem of representation and postcoloniality examines the proliferating newspaper photographs of accused criminals in the former British colony of Nevis. These images instantiate what Frantz Fanon describes as an "autoscopic" hallucination, the effect of a mirror that disorders Antillean imagination and governmentality. However, one finds that Fanon's formulation of the "Antillean hallucination" and the resulting negativ…
Incendiary Mother
The immolation of Vivian Tindall by her mother on the island of Antigua in June 2012 occasions a return to the problems of Antillean postcoloniality, forgiveness, and the work of Antigua's most influential child, Jamaica Kincaid. We find the prospects of Antiguan postcoloniality arrested in Kincaid's tropes of ‘small’ and ‘event’ and in a forestalled notion of ‘in the place of forgiveness’ in the Antiguan archive. Kincaid's generalized contempt f…
The Emergency of Trinidad
Lunacy and servility: they remain the ingredients of the Negro character. I wonder why this isn't written about, why the Negro writers continue to be sentimental about themselves.-V.S. Naipaul, in a letter to Diana Athillnobel laureate sir vidiadhar surajprasad naipaul is identified here as a primary agent in the unwitting and paradoxical reproduction of a necrosanct1 and disruptive Afro-Caribbean figure, a 'sacred man (homo sacer), to use Giorgi…

In this essay Glenn A. Elmer Griffin adopts a January 2009 parricidal attack in St. Lucia as an instantiation of the escalating problem of fratricidal crime in the postcolonial Eastern Caribbean. Following the work of Kamau Brathwaite, Griffin argues that this violence constitutes the nonarrival of postcoloniality as it is anticipated by Frantz Fanon's periodization of fraternal violence. The familial murder embodies an unbroken period of self-ki…
