- W2036595113 abstract "Certain statements, once made, crop up time and again to haunt those who made them. One such is V. S. Naipaul's claim in The Middle Passage [End Page 209] (Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1969, p.29) that history is built around achievement and creation, and that nothing was created in the West Indies. I couldn't help going back to those words as I read Richard Burton's fascinating argument outlining how, from Jamaica to Trinidad by way of Haiti, predominantly African communities (if not societies) carved out for themselves a culture that has become distinctly Caribbean. Not only was something created in the Caribbean, but what was created all hangs together, and what at first seem disparate elements turn out to be closely linked in a vast symbolic network. The author sees, for example, the recurrence of the image of the slave driver's rod in what he terms a multiplicity of disguises (9-10): from its evolution into religion as the rod of correction; to the shepherd's crooks, swords, and scepters of Revival; to the rods and staffs of Rastafarianism; to the swords, flags, and other physical props of Vodou; to the stickfighter's baton--later mutated into the flashing willow of the cricket bat; and, finally, to the many staffs, staves, words, banners, and other emblems of popular counterpower ritualistically displayed during carnival. The research that leads to this type of synthesis is voluminous and convincing, and by the end of the book, the reader is sufficiently armed to challenge anyone who asserts that nothing was created in the Caribbean." @default.
