George Lamming, In the Castle of My Skin
In In the Castle of My Skin , the novelist George Lamming presents a fictional account of his early years growing up in Barbados and Trinidad. He describes how the white landlords hire black overseers to control the villagers – a strategy which produces distrust and enmity between the overseers and the "low-down nigger people."

In the Castle of My Skin Dialogues Notes Links Teaching ... Citations In the Castle of My Skin was written in 1970 by George Lamming. It is the story of G., an autobiographical character. The novel is also seen as the story of the Caribbean as well as the coming of age story of G. We start out on G.'s ninth birthday and are immediately thrown into the context of what it is like growing up as a native in the Caribbean without a father. Lamming takes us to school with G. and his friends where we see just how the colonizers treat the colonized. On page 39, the inspector comes to the boys' school and proclaims Barbados as "little England." The students cheer because that is the attitude the schoolteachers send to them. There is a scene where the boys are studying and discussing the bright pennies they received after inspection (52). This leads one to understand just how poor these natives are, to think that a penny is worth so much to them, they can't even think how they would spend it. Maybe money just isn't how they place value on things. In chapter four, Lamming changes the point of view. It is still third person limited, but he switches characters from G. to and Old Man and Old Woman who are still talking about what is happening in the village with the schoolmaster and the local bank. In this chapter we see a slower pace of life. It is far less "fun" than the boys' lives.

In the Castle of My Skin by George Lamming
Jump to: Introduction Author Biography Summary and Analysis Characters Themes Style Historical Context Critical Overview Criticism Compare and Contrast Topics for Further Study What Do I Read Next? Bibliography Download the PDF Introduction In the Castle of My Skin , the first novel by Barbadian writer George Lamming, tells the story of the mundane events in a young boy's life that take place amid dramatic changes in the village and society in which he lives. First published in London in 1953, the novel uses such characteristic devices of modernist fiction as shifting perspectives and unreliable narration to recount the boyhood of a fairly traditional fictional protagonist: a sensitive, unusually intelligent young boy, with a protective mother, who grows up among his peers but, because of his intelligence, takes a different path. The novel's main concern, however, is not the individual consciousness of the protagonist. Rather, Lamming uses the growth and education of G. (his hero) as a device through which to view the legacy of colonialism and slavery in Caribbean village society in the middle of the twentieth century, and to document the changes that time brings to this sleepy hamlet. The novel's primary concerns are larger than the experience of G. as an individual. Through his eyes, we see the effects of race, feudalism, capitalism, education, the labor movement, violent riots, and emigration on his small town and, by extension, on Caribbean society as a whole. In later books, Lamming continued to examine the Caribbean experience, as his protagonists migrated to London and the United States, returned to their homes in the Caribbean, and helped their home countries obtain independence. But in

The Educational Hybrid
Valerie Braman, Class of 2000.5, English 119 , Brown University
Part 4 of "Education as a Means of (Post) Colonial Control in the Literature of Zimbabwe and Singapore: A Theoretical and Literary Analysis" If the colonial student is being taught that he himself is inferior, and that the only way to better himself is to become more like his English teaches and colonizers, then his existence and awareness becomes that of the hybrid, a mix between indigenous and colonial ideology and practice, neither fully one nor the other. Macaulay's speech addresses this phenomenon directly, as he states It is impossible for us, with our limited means, to attempt to educate the body of the people. We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, opinions, in morals, and in intellect. (430) to prove that no matter how much the native was exposed to European influences he could never truly absorb them; like Prester John he would always discard the mask of civilization when the crucial hour came and reveal his true face. Now, did this mean that the educated native was no different at all from his brother in the bush? Oh, no! He was different; he was worse. His abortive effort at education and culture though leaving him totally unredeemed and unregenerated had none the less done something to himÑit had deprived him of his links with his own people whom he no longer even understood and who certainly wanted none of his dissatisfaction or pretensions. (58-59)

Africa In Exile The following article is the first in a series about African writers in exile. We will look both backwards and forwards, as the state of exile is hardly a new event in the lives of writers of African descent. But that, dear reader, is jumping the gun. We begin: Ngugi Wa Thiong'o: Exile And Resistance
Bronwyn Mills
Since 1982, Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong'o has lived in exile in the United States. Probably best known for his novels about Kenya's struggle to throw off British colonial rule and to disgorge the bitter pill of neocolonialism his countrymen have subsequently had to swallow, he has had his own struggle with these forces. Beginning with his first novel, Weep Not Child (1964), through his fourth, Petals of Blood (1977) — which very clearly challenges "independent" Kenya's neocolonial regime — Ngugi wrote in English. However, in December of 1977, following the publication of Petals of Blood , Ngugi was arrested on vague, Kafkaesque charges and held without trial in Kenya's Kamiti Maximum Security Prison. At that point he began to write in his native Gikuyu, the language of the Mau Mau resistance movement. As he has said many times, this is one way to resist the cultural dominion of the West.

http://www.cariboo.bc.ca/ae/e_birney/english/bibliog/poems.htm
Earle Birney Poems
Status quo
This poem is making a statement about human nature, the quest to gain power at the expense of others, and the perpetuality of a status quo in human society. Never, has a society existed in which some sort of status quo did not exist. There is always a "slumgirl locked from life," suppressed by those in power. The status quo exists in nations as well as people. The quest to expand ones borders "wrinkle the heart of man."
The second stanza touches upon government propaganda during war, in order to gain public support to "aim the atom's rage" at the enemy. This may be a reference to Hiroshima.
The final stanza states that the next generation will be bound to repeat history, and refers to Belsen, a Nazi war camp.
Discussion Questions
Q: What is meant by "aim the atom's rage?" Q: To what historical events does the poem refer? Q: Does this poem present an optimistic point of view? Explain.
Time-bomb
The last lines of the poem are integral to understanding the poem: O men be swift to be mankind
or let the grizzly take.
