• W2590004808 abstract "IntroductionApart from her valuable contributions to historiography of Caribbean and to history of race relations in Trinidad and Tobago, Professor Bridget Brereton has also been a pioneer in engendering of history in region. This tribute, crafted from an interview with Bridget, connects biographical and intellectual in her scholarly journey.The theoretical concept the is political was first introduced in 1970s with rise of second wave feminist movement. It resonated with feminists who understood that power relations in gender, hidden in households and submerged in gender archetypes, could only be revealed through collective pooling of individual experiences. The personal is political acquired pejorative meanings over time, viewed by deterrents as unnecessary intrusion of and subjective in research and writing. The application of this concept led to a second theoretical insight - that of standpoint epistemology. Standpoint theory valorized not only work of gender scholars, but troubled idea of value freedom in any field. It conveyed an overlooked truth - that one's class, ethnic, and cultural status in society coupled with experience, influenced how one spoke, interpreted data or wrote.These early theoretical insights of gender signposted how one could make sense of Bridget's life, to see influence of private in talents she would develop, to comprehend how her excellent skills as a writer evolved, her choice of profession, and especially subjects she would choose to write about in history. For most part, for those who have not known her personally, let her speak for herself, to allow emergence of her wry humour, a sometimes self-deprecating yet confident personality, a straightforward and thoughtful honesty, and her capacity to effortlessly paint a picture in words. The interview is set out in two parts, first concentrating on, although not restricted to, biographical; second part deals more with her scholarly contributions and is presented in conventional question and response format. She also dug out family photographs, which provide a parallel text to visualize her passage through earlier years in particular.1PART ONEMadras, India to Edinburgh, ScotlandBridget Brereton earned right as a scholar to speak for and on behalf of Caribbean. It is rare to find any book or essay on Trinidad that does not make reference to her work. Race Relations2 is intellectually my most influential book, says Bridget. I do think it stood up well to test of time. A History of Modern Trinidad3 is by far most widely read, because it has been read by many young people, sixth formers and university students across country and elsewhere too.How did British India-born Bridget come to settle in Trinidad and how did we in Caribbean and in Trinidad and Tobago come to claim her as one of our eminent resident historians? Bridget Mary Brereton was born to Patrick and Hedda (nee Friedlander) Cruttwell in a small nursing home run by Portuguese nuns in Madras (now Chennai). That is why my second name is Mary; nuns persuaded my father and mother to so name me. Her father had been stationed in India and served throughout World War II in Indian Army when it was still British India. Her older brother and sister were born in different cities of India. By time she was born in May 1946, war was over, and her father, who was British, had been demobilized and awaiting shipment back to Britain. She was exactly six weeks old when family left on a crowded troop ship to Britain. She has no childhood memories of living in India and there are a few surviving photographs of her mother who died in 1949 when Bridget was only three years old.Although Bridget would have been too young to accumulate insuences of India, from an early age she has had to confront idea of national identity. …" @default.
