Widening Horizons
The transformation of Maureen Warner-Lewis's intellectual career from colonial to postcolonial shaping was gradual and sometimes fortuitous. It involved a bifurcation in disciplines, evolving from English literary developments into Afro-Caribbean social and linguistic history. Linguistic fieldwork further led into concerns with religious, culinary, and musical folkways, as well as biographical investigation. Outlines of Warner-Lewis's writings on…
Crossing Boundaries in Fact and in Fiction
This article examines four novels by Peter Abrahams which discuss themes of conquest, liberation, and postcolonial challenges. Abrahams criss-crosses a variety of boundaries in Africa and its diaspora, some policed by harsh white rule. In his struggle for political freedoms he explores the formidable challenges of building a new society and explores a variety of contradictions imposed not only by history but by contemporary power relations

This second edition is a thematic expansion buttressed by historical documentary sources and painstaking linguistic research. Maureen Warner-Lewis examines African cultural practices and artefacts as recalled by the biological desc…
West Africa in the Caribbean
While kinship and political structures could not be transferred from Africa to the Caribbean under the conditions of forced migration, kinetic expressiveness, artistic skills and mental epistemologies were retained. These retentions covered domains such as religious ideas, musical instrumentation and morphology, dance choreography, culinary forms, hair and dress aesthetics, language syntax, economic activity and cooperation

Accessing a variety of primary records, Maureen Warner-Lewis meticulously reconstructs a biography of enslaved Archibald Montieth, an Igbo, who was brough…

Central Africa in the Caribbean
Central Africa in the Caribbean is the product of more than three decades of research. Maureen Warner-Lewis’s pioneering study analyses some of the main lineaments of the Central African cultural legacy in the Caribbean, with fascinating transatlantic comparative data. She identifies Central African cultural forms in areas settled by the Koongo, Mbundu and Ovimbundu (the two present-day Congos and Angola) and illuminates Caribbean thought and cus…
