34 ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION – OUR HISTORY
T he Caribbean Studies Association (CSA)
CCCcis an independent professional organisation
devoted to the promotion of Caribbean studies
from a multidisciplinary, multicultural point of
view. It is the primary association for scholars and
practitioners working on the Caribbean Region
(including Central America and the Caribbean
coast of South America). Its members come from
the Caribbean Region, North America, South
America, Central America, Europe and
elsewhere, even though more than half of its
members live in the United States, many of them
teaching at US universities and colleges. Founded
in 1974 by 300 Caribbeanists, the CSA now has
over 1,100 members.
The Caribbean Studies Association enjoys non-
profit status and is independent of any public or
private institution. Membership is open to anyone
interested in sharing its objectives, regardless of
academic discipline, profession, ideology, place of
residence, ethnic origin or nationality.
The focus of the CSA is on the Caribbean Basin
which includes Central America, the Caribbean
Coast of Mexico, as well as Venezuela, Colombia,
Northeast Brazil and the three Guianas. The
Association serves a critical function for scholars
providing one of the only venues for persons
working on the Caribbean to come together to
share their work, to engage in collaborative
endeavours, to exchange ideas, to meet each
other, and to develop the field of Caribbean
Studies. Most importantly, the Caribbean Studies
Association has become potentially one of the
most important vehicles for researching,
analysing, and documenting the growing
significant presence of populations of Caribbean
descent in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
It provides the perfect venue for maintaining the
intellectual and academic connections needed to
study this growing phenomenon.
Members of the CSA have played leading roles in
the Caribbean, most notably in public service and
in academia. These include current and past
service as leaders of governments, administrators
i n mul t i la t er a l a nd bi la t er a l r e gi on al
organisations. Many of our current members
serve in senior positions at Caribbean, North
American and European universities.

34 ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
PATRICIA MOHAMMED
D ear CSA members, first-timers and those
whose support has made this year's
programme possible – on behalf of the Executive
Council and Advisory Board I extend a warm
welcome to the 34th Annual Conference of the
Caribbean Studies Association (CSA) and to
Jamaica. We look forward to greeting old friends
and inviting new members and participants into
the extended family of over 1,000 who now
constitute the association's membership. When
you come to a CSA conference and join this
association, you have already made the
commitment to one of the many goals that the
association serves, of advancing the development
of this region and the welfare of its diasporic
population. In this vein I pay homage to the 33
presidents and the numerous executive council
members before this year's team who have
committed themselves to delivering a conference
and taking the CSA through another term.
In selecting the site of Jamaica this year, one of the
few prerogatives the president has for his or her
year of office, I have brought the membership to
my second home in the Caribbean. The theme of
the conference, “Centering the Caribbean in
Caribbean Studies”, started with a niggling
thought that refused to be dismissed over the last
decade. While the CSA emerged as an association
34 years ago through the initiatives of scholars
situated in North America, I was increasingly
concerned about the benefits to Caribbean
societies who served each year as hosts to the
annual conferences. How do these societies gain
4
from our annual invasions which require for
success the time of local organising committees,
and inputs of commercial and institutional
funding? Then there was the term 'Caribbean
Studies' itself, one which was taken for granted –
as if this had not itself undergone shifts in
emphasis and disciplinary interests in three
decades. Commenting on the selected theme,
Prof. Bhoendradatt Tewarie (Pro Vice Chancellor,
Planning, University of the West Indies) asks,
“What impact has the decades of Caribbean
Studies had on the Caribbean? What has thinking,
discussing and writing about the Caribbean done
for the Caribbean?”
A fluctuation of interest in the Caribbean must
also engage us: flavour of the day a few centuries
ago, the Caribbean has slipped gently into
obsolescence on the Western Hemispheric stage,
which two-day hosted meetings of the Summit of
the Americas cannot easily resolve – we are small
players in a very big field. In the world of
scholarship and publishing, Caribbean markets
are miniscule and hold very little interest for large
presses that must sell books and information to
survive. Thus when Dr. Diana Thorburn,
Programme Chair and UWI Jamaican scholar,
coined the phrase that would become the theme,
we were both committed as longstanding CSA
members to engaging this year's conference in
discussions around these issues. Jamaica was one
of the best places to do so, as site of the first UWI
campus. With the full support of Professor
Gordon Shirley, Principal of UWI's Mona

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Campus, and with Annette Insanally, Director of
the Latin American–Caribbean Centre as our
Local Organising Chair, together with the
ongoing backing of Dr Hamid Ghany, Dean of the
Faculty of Social Sciences (who has hosted the
CSA Secretariat at the UWI St Augustine over the
last four years), the Principal of the St Augustine
Campus, Professor Clement Sankat, and the Pro
Vice Chancellors of Research and Graduate
Studies, Professors Wayne Hunte and Ronald
Young, we can safely attest to the partnership of
the University of the West Indies in this year's
conference and to our shared institutional
interests in tertiary-level delivery in hammering
out ideas in this theme.
We were overwhelmed with applications of all
kinds this year, and have divided these into
tracked sessions that may allow us to shop wisely
in the department store of panels, plenaries and
performances that await you in this programme.
We have attempted to create no clashes with the
three plenaries that deal with the main theme of
the conference in order to allow for full
participation by members. We invited as scholar-
in-residence for the week, Professor George
Lamming, noted Caribbean author; and we have
created a film and performance track that sets up
an alternative space in the Jonkanoo Lounge of the
Hilton Hotel for the other languages from which
culture writes – visuality, dance, orality and
music.
The association runs on the wheels of its Executive
Council, Advisory Board, Secretariat and
members who commit themselves and deliver on
their promises. I thank each of you who will have
made this programme a success – a full list
appears on appropriate pages of this programme.
At the same time, I must single out for special
attention those who have tirelessly worked on the
details that have made up the whole. Dr. Diana
Thorburn as Programme Chair has been
unstinting and caring in her role. Annette
Insanally as Local Organising Chair I have come
to know, respect and be in awe of in terms of her
managerial and organisational skills. Ms Joy

Cooblal, Secretary/Treasurer, CSA, and Ms
Michelle Seeraj (Research Assistant, UWI, St.
Augustine) who assisted as secretariat members
at St A ugust ine, were invaluable and
irreplaceable as colleagues. Professor Anton
Allahar was a hard act to follow as the cheerful yet
grounded past president, and he continued to
provide this year the benefit of his experience, as
did Dr. Dwaine Plaza, Programme Chair 2007/8.
Drs. Samuel Fure (Cuba) and Maggie Shrimpton
(Mexico) looked after travel grant issues that have
brought some of you here; while Professor
Jocelyne Guilbault and incoming CSA president
Linden Lewis have ensured that we have free and
fair elections to select the next executive. We invite
each paid-up member to ensure that you exercise
your vote. Each year we also depend on and
celebrate our authors, presses and publishers who
have become our regulars, and for the
organisation of this aspect of our programme and
the annual book launch event we thank Drs.
Carolle Charles and Lisa Outar.
The CSA conference brings us all together to unite
on some common ground, despite differences of
many hues. We wanted to put together a
conference programme that admittedly, begins
uncharacteristically early. Although taxing for
those who keep late nights, we have provided
times throughout the programme for a siesta if
you so choose, or engagement in other spheres
where numerous invaluable exchanges take place
in the CSA – in our recreated internet café in the
Hilton mezzanine, and at carefully spaced out
receptions and activities that allow us time for a
more fluid and pleasurable melding of ideas.
For those of you who will experience Jamaica for
the first time, or through the eyes of the CSA, I
hope that this conference will prove to be
productive, enjoyable and inspiring.

34 ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
MENSAJE DE LA PRESIDENTA
E stimados miembros de la CSA -los que se
nos unen por primera vez y aquellos cuya
contribución ha hecho posible el programa de este
año, - a nombre del Consejo Ejecutivo y la Junta
Asesora, les extiendo una calurosa bienvenida a la
XXXIV Conferencia Anual de la Asociación de
Estudios Caribeños y a Jamaica. Esperamos con
ansiedad saludar viejos amigos y acoger a los
nuevos miembros y participantes dentro de una
familia extendida de más de 1000, quienes ahora
constituyen la membrecía de la asociación.
Cuando participan en una conferencia de la CSA y
se unen a esta Asociación, ya se han
comprometido con uno de los muchos propósitos
a los que sirve la asociación, el de continuar el
desarrollo de esta Región y el bienestar de su
población en la diáspora. En este sentido me
gustaría rendir homenaje a los 33 Presidentes y los
numerosos miembros del consejo ejecutivo que
precedieron el trabajo del equipo de este año,
quienes se dedicaron a realizar con éxito una
conferencia y conducir la CSA hacia otro periodo
de trabajo.
Al seleccionar a Jamaica como sede este año,
aprovechando una de las pocas prerrogativas que
el Presidente tiene para su mandato, he logrado
traer a la membrecía a mi segundo hogar en el
Caribe. El tema de la conferencia "Centrando el
Caribe en los estudios Caribeños" comenzó con
una pequeña idea que se ha negado a ser
rechazada durante la última década. Aún cuando
la CSA nació como una asociación hace 34 años
por medio de las iniciativas de estudiosos que
vivían en Norteamérica, me sobrecogía la
creciente preocupación sobre los beneficios para
aquellas sociedades caribeñas que habían servido
cada año como sedes de las conferencias anuales.
¿Qué ganancias derivaban aquellas sociedades de
nuestras invasiones anuales que para su éxito
requerían el tiempo de los comités organizadores
locales, así como la contribución financiera de los
comercios e instituciones? Además de ello,
teníamos el término Estudios Caribeños como tal,
dado por sentado – como si el mismo no hubiese
sufrido cambios en su énfasis e intereses
disciplinarios durante tres décadas. Al comentar
6
sobre el tema escogido, el Dr. Bhoendradatt
Tewarie (Vicerrector de Planificación de la UWI),
se preguntaba "¿Qué impacto han tenido las
décadas de Estudios Caribeños sobre el Caribe?
¿Qué han aportado al Caribe las ideas,
discusiones y escritos sobre el Caribe?"
Debemos comprometernos también con una
fluctuación en los intereses sobre el Caribe - de
sabor cotidiano hace algunos años, el Caribe se ha
escurrido sigilosamente hacia una obsolescencia
en el escenario del Hemisferio Occidental y esto
no puede resolverse fácilmente con dos días de
reuniones en la Cumbre de las Américas – somos
jugadores pequeños en un campo demasiado
grande. En el mundo académico y publicitario,
los mercados caribeños son minúsculos y
reportan muy poco interés para la gran prensa
que está obligada a vender libros e información
para sobrevivir. Es así que cuando la Dra. Diana
Thorburn, Presidenta del Programa y académica
de la Universidad UWI acuñara la frase que se
convertiría en el tema, como miembros activos de
la CSA por mucho tiempo, quedamos ambas
comprometidas a estimular durante esta
conferencia discusiones pertinentes a estos
asuntos. Consideramos que Jamaica es uno de los
mejores espacios para hacerlo, en cuanto sede del
primer recinto universitario de UWI y con el
apoyo total del Profesor Gordon Shirley, Rector
de UWI para el Recinto de Mona, y Annette
Insanally, Directora del Centro para América
Latina y el Caribe …como nuestra Presidenta
Local del Comité Organizador. Todo esto, unido
al continuo apoyo del Dr. Hamid Ghany, Decano
de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, quien ha
brindado la sede a la Secretaría de la CSA en la
UWI St. Augustine durante los últimos cuatro
años, el Rector del recinto de St. Augustine
Profesor Clement Sankat, los Vicerrectores de
Investigación y Estudios de Postgrado, Profesores
Wayne Hunte y Ronald Young, nos permite
anticipar con certeza la participación de la
Universidad de West Indies durante la
conferencia de este año y asegurar que
compartimos intereses institucionales comunes
sobre una educación superior enfocada en ideas

MENSAJE DE LA PRESIDENTA
que se relacionan con este tema.
Abrumados por la enorme cantidad de
propuestas para presentaciones de todo tipo este
año, d ec idi mos di vi dir las e n sesion es
relacionadas de manera que puedan escoger
sabiamente de entre la oferta de los paneles,
plenarias y actuaciones que les aguardan en este
programa. Hemos tratado de evitar coincidencias
entre las tres plenarias que tratan sobre el tema
central de la conferencia a fin de permitir una
participación total de la membrecía. Hemos
invitado un estudioso en residencia para la
semana, el Profesor George Lamming, notable
autor Caribeño, y hemos preparado una pista de
filme y actuación que ofrece un espacio
alternativo en el Salón Jonkanoo del Hotel Hilton
para aquellos otros lenguajes que conforman la
cultura- visuales, danza, oralidad y música.
La Asociación funciona gracias al trabajo del
Consejo Ejecutivo, la Junta Asesora, la Secretaría y
los miembros que se comprometen y cumplen sus
promesas. Mi agradecimiento a cada uno de
ustedes que ha contribuido al éxito de este
programa – en las páginas pertinentes
encontrarán un listado completo. Al mismo
tiempo, debo destacar de manera especial a
aquellos que han trabajado incansablemente en
todos los detalles que han conformado la
totalidad del evento. La Dra. Diana Thorburn
como Presidenta del Programa ha sido pródiga y
cuidadosa en su papel, Annette Insanally como
Presidenta Local a quien he llegado a conocer,
respetar y quien me ha sorprendido por sus
habilidades administrativas y de organización, la
Srta. Joy Cooblal Secretaria/Tesorera de la CSA y
la Sr t a. M ic hell e Seer aj (Asiste nt e de
Investigación, UWI St. Augustine) quien asistió a
los miembros de la Secretaría en St. Augustine,
han sido todas colegas valiosas e insustituibles; el
Profesor Anton Allahar, quien ha dejado un
espacio difícil de llenar por su trabajo alegre pero
profundo como Ex presidente y quien ha
continuado este año ofreciendo el beneficio de su
experiencia; así como lo ha hecho el Dr. Dwaine
Plaza, Presidente del Programa (2007/8). Los Dres.

terreno común, a pesar de las diferencias con
muchos matices. Queríamos organizar un
programa de conferencia que comprendemos
comienza más temprano que de costumbre. Y a
pesar de la carga de trabajo para aquellos que han
tenido que dedicar noches enteras, hemos
incluido espacio de tiempo libre a lo largo del
programa para aquellos que deseen tomarse una
siesta, o cumplir con un compromiso en otras
esferas donde se producen varios y valiosos
intercambios en la CSA - en el internet café que
hemos recreado en el Hilton mezannine, así como
en las cuidadosamente espaciadas recepciones y
actividades que nos permita tener tiempo para un
discurrir de ideas más fluido y placentero.

Jamaica por primera vez, o que lo harán por
medio de los ojos de la CSA, espero que esta
conferencia les resulte productiva, divertida e
inspiradora.

34 ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
MESSAGE DE LA PRESIDENTE
C her membres du CSA, à vous nouveaux
CCCCcvenus parmi nous, et à tous ceux dont le
soutien a permis la réalisation du programme de
cette année, au nom du Conseil exécutif et du
Conseil consultatif, je vous souhaite la bienvenue
à la fois à la 34ème Conférence de l'Association
des études caribéennes, et à la Jamaïque. Nous
avons hâte de saluer les vieux amis mais aussi
d'inviter les nouveaux participants et membres à
rejoindre cette famille élargie qui compte
maintenant plus de 1000 membres. Venir à une
conférence de CSA et joindre les rangs de cette
Association, c'est déjà s'engager pour la
réalisation d'un des nombreux buts, celui de la
poursuite du développement de cette Région et le
bien-être de ses ressortissants. Dans le même
esprit, je tiens à rendre hommage aux 33
présidents et aux nombreux membres du conseil
exécutif qui ont précédé l'équipe de cette année
qui est soucieuse de mener à bien la conférence et
de porter CSAvers un nouveau terme.
En choisissant la Jamaïque cette année, le choix du
site étant une des prérogatives du Président
durant son mandat d'un an, j'ai attiré les membres
vers mon deuxième pays dans la Caraïbe. Le
thème de la conférence « Mettre la Caraïbe au
cœur des études caribéennes » a d'abord vu le jour
sous la forme d'une idée persistante qui, durant
toute une décennie, a refusé de se taire. Bien que
CSA en tant qu'association découle de l'initiative
d'universitaires basés en Amérique du Nord, je
me sentais de plus en plus soucieuse des
avantages que pourraient en retirer les sociétés
caribéennes qui accueillaient la conférence
chaque année. En quoi ces sociétés bénéficient-
elles, de ces invasions annuelles, qui pour réussir,
mobilisent le temps des comités organisateurs, et
la participation financière publique et privée. Et
puis, il y avait aussi le terme même d'« Etudes
caribéennes », qui, croit-on, va de soi, comme s'il
n'était pas lui-même passé par trois décennies de
c hang ement s d' or ient at ion et d ' int ér êt
disciplinaires. En guise de commentaire face au
thème choisi, Bhoendradatt Tewarie (Vice
Président chargé de la planification, UWI) s'est
demandé "quel impact les décennies d'existence
8
des Etudes caribéennes ont-elles eu sur la
Caraïbe? Qu'est-ce que les réflexions, les
discussions et les écrits ont fait pour la Caraïbe ? »
Le vent tourne pour la Caraïbe, et cela doit nous
interpeler – au centre de tous les intérêts il y a
quelques siècles, la Caraïbe a doucement glissé
vers l'obsolescence sur la scène occidentale
hémisphérique, fait que deux jours de Sommet
des Amériques ne peut pas facilement
contrebalancer – nous sommes des petits acteurs
sur une grande scène. Dans le monde du savoir et
de l'édition, les marches caribéens sont
minuscules et ne présentent que peu d'intérêt
pour les gros éditeurs dont la survie dépend des
ventes de livres et de connaissance. Ainsi, quand
Diana Thorburn, chercheuse jamaïcaine à
l'Université des West Indies, responsable de la
programmation de la conférence cette année, a eu
l'idée du slogan qui est par la suite devenu le
thème, nous nous étions déjà engagées, en tant
que membres de longue date de CSA, à faire de
ces questions le pivot des discussions de la
conférence. La Jamaïque était l'un des endroits les
plus appropriés pour cela, de par son passé de
premier campus de UWI, et grâce au soutien total
du Professeur Gordon Shirley, Principal du
Campus de Mona, et d'Annette Insanally,
Directrice du Centre Amérique Latine-Caraïbe
qui dirige aussi notre comité organisateur sur
place. Quand on y ajoute l'appui continu de
Hamid Ghany, Doyen de la Faculté des sciences
sociales qui a accueilli le Secrétariat de CSA
pendant les quatre dernières années, le Principal
du campus de Saint-Augustine, le Professeur
Clement Sankat, les Vice Présidents en charge de
la Recherche et des Etudes de second et troisième
cycle, les professeurs Waynbe Hunte et Ronald
Young, nous pouvons sans aucun doute
témoigner du partenariat de l'Université des West
Indies pour la conférence de cette année, ainsi que
de notre intérêt commun à voir l'enseignement
supérieur mettre à plat les idées que suscite ce
theme.
Nous avons quasiment croulé sous les
soumissions d'articles de tous genres cette année,

MESSAGE DE LA PRESIDENTE
et nous les avons répartis en séances fléchées qui
devraient nous permettre de faire de bonnes
affaires dans cette grande foire de tables rondes,
séances plénières et prestations qui vous
attendent dans ce programme. Nous avons tenté
d'éviter que les trois plénières qui traitent du
thème principal de la conférence se chevauchent,
afin de faciliter l'entière participation des
membres. Nous avons invité, à titre d'expert en
résidence pour la semaine, le professeur George
Lamming, auteur caribéen de grande renommée
et nous avons créé une piste dédiée au film et à la
performance scénique qui mène à un espace
alternatif dans le Jonkanoo Lounge de l'Hotel
Hilton où s'expriment les autres langues de la
production culturelle – arts visuels, danse, oralité
et musique.
L'association tourne grâce à son Conseil exécutif,
ses Conseil consultatif, Secrétariat et membres qui
s'engagent et tiennent leurs promesses. Je
remercie chacun d'entre vous qui aura contribué à
faire de ce programme une réussite– la liste
complète apparait dans le programme. Je me dois
toutefois de porter une attention toute particulière
à ceux qui ont travaillé sans défatiguer aux détails
qui ont fini par former un tout. Diana Thorburn

programmation avec une gentillesse sans limites,

La conférence de l'AEC nous rassemble tous
autour d'un point commun, malgré les différences

programme qui, nous en convenons, démarre tôt
dans la journée, ce qui n'est pas dans nos
habitudes. Bien que cela soit éprouvant pour ceux
qui veillent tard, nous avons aménagé des
moments libres dans la programmation pour faire
une sieste, si vous en décidez ainsi, ou pour se
rencontrer dans d'autres sphères ou les nombreux
et précieux échanges de CSA prennent place –
dans notre cyber-face dans la mezzanine du
Hilton, et au cours des réceptions et autres
activités savamment placées dans le programme
pour nous permettre d'échanger et de mêler les
idées.
Pour ceux d'entre vous dont c'est la première
expérience en Jamaïque, ou la première fois à

révélera productive, agréable et riche en
inspiration.

 TH
34 ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CARIBBEAN STUDIES ASSOCIATION
PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS CSA 2009 – MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
W elcome at last
to CSA 2009. I
say at last because the
programme as you now
have it is the result not only of months of work in
sorting and organising submissions and featured
activities, but has been in the hearts and minds of
President Pat and myself from back in 2007 when
she became vice-president and I was programme
chair-designate. We have, since then, been in one
long and intricate conversation about the “type”
of conference we wanted to put on, and, then,
actually working on putting our ideas into reality.
Our principal vision was, of course, a diverse,
interesting and organised conference. But beyond
or within that, we especially wanted to continue
and broaden three newer trends at CSA: namely,
promoting and featuring films and performance,
graduate student-specific activities, and
furthering CSA's links with NGOs and policy
organisations.
While every panel is special and interesting – and I
know because I read each and every single
abstract! – I would like to here bring to your
attention some of what I will call the programme
highlights, being those panels or activities
thatreflect our goal in diversifying the CSA
programme for this year:
First, the entire film/performance track. This was
the brainchild of President Pat, and I am especially
proud that we not only have a completely full film
and performance schedule, but that it is featuring
a wonderfully diverse mix of documentaries,
feature films, archival films, and student films.
Further, we made a special attempt to attract
performance panels for the first time to CSA. I
invite you to view the entire film/performance
track schedule and see if there's anything you can
10
afford to miss!
We are pleased to have four rich graduate
student-specific activities this conference. Our
regular graduate student breakfast will be next
door at the Courtleigh Hotel on Wednesday
morning. We also have a tenure panel on Tuesday
morning, and our regular 'finishing the PhD &
getting a job' panel on Thursday morning. Also on
Wednesday we are holding a series of leadership
and grant-writing workshops specifically
targeting graduate students and newly minted
PhDs (but open to everyone).
Our efforts to further CSA's links with NGOs and
organisations that are policy- and policy-
research-oriented have resulted in a healthy
selection of not-strictly-academic panels and
activities this year.
Monday morning features the first of our policy-
related discussions at CSA 2009 with a UNESCO-
led discussion on perhaps the first question that
arises when thinking about relationships between
academic and policy organisations: what is the
role of the dialogue between researchers and
policy makers? On Wednesday morning the
“IC3” group from SUNY Albany will stage a
discussion on climate change in the Caribbean.
Thursday is a big day for our policy-related
panels. The Inter-American Foundation, an
independent agency of the US government that
provides grants to nongovernmental and
community-based organisations in Latin America
and t he Car ibbean, will be staging a
panel/roundtable. The Caribbean Policy Research
Institute, the newly established policy think tank
that is making waves across the region, will
present the findings of one of its many exciting
research projects, also on Thursday morning. On
Thursday afternoon, the Environment and
Sustainability group will hold its second annual
CSA panel. The Washington-based think tanks
will also stage a roundtable discussing a topic
that's always of interest to CSA members – the
Cuba-US relationship. Finally, the plenary on

Caribbean studies, development, art and culture.
This year we are happy to have expanded our
social networks in this regard by being the venue
of the newly-revitalised Haitian Studies
Association meet-and-greet event on Wednesday
evening, open to all CSA participants. We have
partnered with the Institute of Jamaica, the oldest
cultural institution in the English-speaking
Caribbean, to offer on lunchtime on Wednesday a
cultural outing comprising a visit to the IOJ with

Most evenings there is a planned activity. These and other events are listed in your programme schedule and

provided in your package, there are clearly identifiable student liaisons available to provide further

We invite you then to enjoy the conference, the Hilton and its environs . . . a very user-friendly space.
Incedentally, Flow has kindly made an internet hotspot available to us for the week. Details on this will be
posted outside the secretariat (Ballroom area). Remember to check the CSA website for our page on what to

INTERROGATIONS, SHIFTS, CENTRES:
LOCATING OUR CARIBBEAN IN CARIBBEAN
STUDIES
Postgraduate cultural studies students at UWI Cave
Hill continue to engage a practitioner approach to the
deployment of cultural dynamics in Caribbean space.
In gathering epistemological knowledge, panellists
present congruencies and discrepancies that elucidate
previous notions of cultural studies, locating their
experience within the realm of the broader network of
academia. These critiques disturb popular
assumptions around dance, music, theatre, sports and
skin colour; they offer no solutions or answers, but
reaffirm the Caribbean as a site for rich, complex and
complicated articulations of power and identity in
their respective fields.

Regendering Caribbean Sport: Women's Football in
Barbados
Looks at women's football in Barbados, proposing
that a re-gendering of the sports field in the
Caribbean might satisfy the tensions that exist where
policies of inclusion, location, centring and
accommodation of the female athlete in Caribbean
sport have failed.

Beyond the Silence: Men, Dance and Masculinity in
the Caribbean
Uses Barbadians in his case study, interrogates the
lived experiences of male dancers from the
Caribbean, revealing issues that challenge
conventional myths of masculinity, and in so doing
risks exposing masculinity's flexibility, fluidity and
mutability.

Liminality in Caribbean Theatre: Voice, Agenda and
Action in the Case Study of King Dyal's Theatre
Offers the late King Dyal, an icon in the Barbadian
cultural landscape, as a case study that challenges the
definition of theatre as presented in Western canon.
By legitimising King Dyal's voice, agenda and action,
Williams re-conceptualises ways of seeing
performance beyond the theatre walls in culturally
hegemonic Barbados.

How Deep Is Skin Deep?: Comparing Social
Constructs of Race and Identity in Brazil and
Barbados.
Analyses and compares perceptions of skin colour
among African descendants in Brazil and in
Barbados. Despite a seemingly common desire among
persons of African descent to be ascribed with lighter
skin complexion, further analysis connotes varying
meanings, definitions, and ascriptions that have
cultural, social as well as geographic implications.
