Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

El 26 de junio de 1977 tuvo lugar la primera manifestación del Orgullo Lgtbi+ en Barcelona. Unas 5000 personas marcharon por las Ramblas de la capital catalana entre las Drassanes y Canaletas . Al frente se pusieron las trans y las prostitutas para proteger al recto del colectivo, decían que, total, "ellas estaban muertas". Se llevaron la mayor parte de los palos que repartió la policía. Y en el centro, destacaba, muy alta, morena de pelo rizado y vestido negro escotado, Trini Falcés, la Trini de día cuando ejercía de prostituta, la "Mamy Blue" de noche como cabaretera en los espectáculos de El Molino o La Perla. Pero , por encima de todo, una gran activista lgtbiq+ con acciones que le llevaron a las comisarías primero y a las cárceles después, sobre todo a la temida de Badajoz que fue un cambo de concentración de colectivo al que sometían a todo tipo de tratamientos y trabajos forzados. Pero Trini Falcés fue una valiente porque nació ya desafiando la realidad. Fue un bebé robado en A Coruña por un policía secreta al servicio de Franco en el Pazo de Meirás. Bautizada como Toni, el tiempo descubriría que era intersexual, tenía genitales masculinos, pero en la adolescencia le crecieron las mamas. Sus padres intentaron ocultarla primero, pero no cejaron en su idea de que hiciera la carrera militar. Es la mili en Barcelona la que le hizo descubrir a Trini Falcés que otro mundo era posible y abandonó el régimen marcial familiar. Primero se ganó la vida limpiando y luego en la calle y en la noche como prostituta y cabaretera. Al final de su vida volvió a su tierra natal, a A Coruña, al barrio de Riazor. Consiguió una paga no contributiva que le permitió vivir y una indemnización por la Ley de Memoria Histórica de Zapatero que fue mínima porque su padre, el policía secreta, había borrado casi todo su historial delictivo durante el franquismo. Hoy viajamos su vida paso a paso, la biografía de un activista lgtbiq+ llamada Toni Falcés

In this episode we have esteemed T&T natives, Michele McIntosh Ross & Mikalla Hodges on set to discuss everything Trinidad & Tobago. Jason and I ask the ladies about their culture growing up on the island, what they love, what they miss, and what they can live without when it comes to Trinibago. This episode blossomed out of the previous episode about black expats. Tameka made it clear that she prefers Trinidad as a place of refuge. It was prudent to have her close Trinibago friends on the podcast to give a relevant account of what it's like to live on the island.

Decir Mari Trini puede resultar añejo, carente del glamour que tuvieron otros cantautores coetáneos, como Aute o Patxi Andión que le escribieron sus primeras canciones. Sin renunciar a su nombre, María Trinidad Pérez Miravete Mille fue una mujer tan adelantada a su tiempo, que pertenece más al nuestro.Mari Trini llegó a España desde un París a las puertas del mayo del 68 y después de grabar dos discos en francés. Allí se empapó de las canciones de Edith Piaff, Juliette Grecó o Jacques Brel, del que versionó su célebre Ne me quitte pass. También en París grabó la precuela en francés de su tema más popular: Ce n’est pas moi, Yo no soy esa.En 1970, Mari Trini lanzó el disco más exitoso de su carrera, Amores. Un trabajo que incluyó canciones tan emblemáticas como Cuando me acaricias, Un hombre marchó o Déjame.Mari Trini se convirtió en un personaje muy popular con habitual presencia en la televisión de los primeros setenta. Por contra, fue muy celosa de su privacidad; un espacio, el de su amor, que decidió compartir con la parisina Claudette Lanza desde que la conoció en un local de moda madrileño.Aunque no se definía como feminista, Mari Trini dedicó gran parte de su discografía a defender los derechos de la mujer. Canciones como Yo no soy esa o Diario de una mujer, son buena muestra de ello, o su famosa Una estrella en mi jardín, compuesta junto a Maryní Callejo, la primera mujer productora musical de España.Ella es una de las voces de este documental sonoro. Con guion de Juan Ballesteros, el espacio cuenta también con la participación de Miguel Fernández, autor de Yo no soy esa que tú te imaginas. Mari Trini, una memoria sentimental; de Miriam Pérez Miravete, hermana de Mari Trini; y de Juan de Dios Rodríguez, periodista musical y amigo de la cantautora. Además, y gracias al Archivo de RTVE, contamos con el testimonio de Esther Zecco, autora de Mari Trini, retrato de una mujer libre.Escuchar audio
