The essays and articles collected here go beyond making an argument against colonialism, but set out to decolonize the nature of the discourse that legitimated the imperial order. At the time of their writing, Wynter was a practicing novelist, an innovative playwright, a scholar of Spanish Caribbean history, and an incisive literary critic with a gift for the liveliest kind of polemics. This intellectual virtuosity is evident in these wide-ranging essays that include an exploration of C.L.R. James's writings on cricket, Bob Marley and the counter-cosmogony of the Rastafari, and the Spanish epoch of Jamaican history (including a pioneering examination of Bernado de Balbuena, epic poet and Abbot of Jamaica 1562-1627). Across this varied range of topics, a coherent thread of argument emerges. In the vein of C. L. R. James, the imperative of her work has always been to reconceptualize the history of the region, and therefore of the modern world, from a world-systemic perspective; that is, no longer from the normative European perspective, but rather more inclusively, from the "gaze from below" of the neo-serf (i.e. Indian) and the ex-slave (i.e. Negro), which is "the ultimate underside of modernity."" -- Peepal Tree Press website (viewed April 21, 2022). 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x History $y 1945- 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x Civilization $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Decolonization in literature. 651 6 $a CaraiÂbes (Region) $x Histoire $y 1945- $0 (CaQQLa)201-0178531 650 6 $a Decolonisation $0 (CaQQLa)201-0405984 $z CaraiÂbes (Region) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0405984 650 6 $a Decolonisation dans la litterature. $0 (CaQQLa)000275476 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Decolonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889115 650 7 $a Decolonization in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889123 651 7 $a Caribbean Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244080 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Eudell, Demetrius Lynn, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020007.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7194C62AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
