• W2093147907 abstract "In articulating the predicament faced by Trinidadians 3 of non-African descent in the Caribbean nation-state of Trinidad and Tobago, 4 this anonymous writer unwittingly addresses a fundamental concern of our times--namely, the contestation over the power to define the cultural coordinates of the symbolic space of the nation. In the age of the hyphenated nation-state, this tenuous if mythical congruence between nation and state is reproduced through hegemonic processes whereby a privileged race and class seek to establish a metonymic relation to the nation. 5 Such a relation provides the ideological cornerstone for ruling groups to claim to represent the nation (the self in the doctrine of self-determination) thereby legitimizing their control over the state. In this way the right to make claims on the state is one reserved for marked ethnic groups and minorities who are symbolically positioned outside [End Page 1] the national self even as they are included within the political state as citizens--a predicament facing those of Asian origin in the new world, including the U.S. While in the U.S. groups representing diverse Asian ancestries attempt to insert their community into the projected multiculturalism of the U.S. nation through the symbolism of a singular marked identity--Asian American--the Indo-Trinidadians have pursued a somewhat different strategy. Here we find a marked group that seeks national inclusion by changing the symbolics of the nation itself and not their particular identity. Such a strategy is possible because historical memory in this case points to a single origin for this Asian diaspora--India; in contrast, Asian Americans in the U.S. have no option but to redefine their identity into a singular identity precisely because historical memory dictates against a singular origin--they have to domesticate their diversity to fit into the given multicultural categories of the polity if they are to be included, however marginally, as legitimate nationals. Thus, while Asian groups in the Americas may share certain similarities with respect to their marked/outsider status, the particular strategies by which various groups struggle to become legitimate nationals of their respective nation-states are never uniform, informed as they are by historical particulars. As such, I use a specific discursive moment that occurred in 1989 in Trinidad to illustrate and analyze the politics of cultural struggle waged by certain segments of the Indo-Trinidadian population to transform the symbolics of the nation in order to insert their community into the definition of the national self." @default.
