There is a gap in academic literature that highlights the perspectives of Canadian-Caribbean individuals that navigate both poverty and the stigma of limited access to resources necessary for livelihood in Canada. By employing the intersecting identities of Low-Income and (un)documentation, this poem aims to deconstruct the stereotypical expectations of Canadian-Caribbean immigrants. What does an impoverished Canadian-Caribbean immigrant look like once we’ve disregarded our representativeness heuristic? They now may be the straight-A student in your class or that lady that never seems to wear an uncoordinated outfit – or perhaps your lecturer or community organizer who has an undying passion for 19th-century opera. By mobilizing this idea, this poem seeks to encourage the reader to reconsider our pre-conceived notions of an (un)documented, impoverished Canadian-Caribbean individual. Similarly, this poem challenges the notion that to exist, is contingent on external perceptions. A tree in the Northwest Territories may exist unknowingly to us and still be able to blow gracefully in the wind.
学术文献中有一个空白,突出了加拿大加勒比地区个人的观点,他们既应对了贫困,也应对了在加拿大获得生计所需资源有限的耻辱。通过使用低收入和(联合国)文件的交叉身份,这首诗旨在解构加拿大加勒比移民的刻板期望。一旦我们忽视了我们的代表性启发,一个贫穷的加拿大加勒比移民会是什么样子?他们现在可能是你班上的全优学生,也可能是那个似乎从不穿不协调服装的女士,或者是你的讲师或社区组织者,她对19世纪的歌剧有着永恒的热情。通过调动这一想法,这首诗试图鼓励读者重新考虑我们对一个(未)记录在案的、贫穷的加拿大加勒比人的预先设想。同样,这首诗挑战了一种观念,即生存取决于外部感知。西北地区的一棵树可能在我们不知情的情况下存在,并且仍然能够优雅地在风中吹。

Silencing the Radical Black Feminist 沉默激进的黑人女权主义者
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.37009
Alexander Vesuna
In their work Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones, Carol Boyce Davies works to rescue Claudia Jones from obscurity and bring the brilliant intellectual back into dominant historical discourse. The Radical Black Feminist was erased from the history books because her intellectual thought posed a threat to the capitalist order. Claudia Jones spent her life working as a journalist allowing her intellectual thought to be brought to the masses in an attempt to build the consciousness of the people. She was key theoretician in the CPUSA and as a Black Radical Feminist Jones stood at the vanguard of revolutionary political thought working to push Marxism further left to account for the intersections of race, gender, and class. Therefore, leftist and Marxist political thought needed to be pushed further left to recognize the triple oppression that Black Women faced. Claudia Jones possessed a unique ability to speak across difference bringing different groups of people together. Her anti-capitalist political thought and this ability to bring people together was seen as a threat to the wealthy elite and the status quo, leading to her eventual deportation to Britain. This piece will work to highlight the life and contributions of Claudia Jones that has been given new life by Carol Boyce Davies.
卡罗尔·博伊斯·戴维斯(Carol Boyce Davies)在其著作《卡尔·马克思的左派:黑人共产主义者克劳迪娅·琼斯的政治生活》(Left of Karl Marx:The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones)中,致力于将克劳迪娅·Jones从默默无闻中拯救出来,并将这位才华横溢的知识分子带回主导历史话语中。这位激进的黑人女权主义者被从历史书中抹去,因为她的思想对资本主义秩序构成了威胁。克劳迪娅·琼斯(Claudia Jones)的一生都是一名记者,她将自己的思想传播给大众,试图建立人们的意识。她是美国共产党的关键理论家,作为一名黑人激进女权主义者,琼斯站在革命政治思想的先锋,致力于推动马克思主义进一步左倾,以解释种族、性别和阶级的交叉点。因此,左派和马克思主义政治思想需要进一步左倾,以认识到黑人妇女面临的三重压迫。克劳迪娅·琼斯拥有一种独特的能力,能够跨越差异,将不同的群体聚集在一起。她的反资本主义政治思想和这种将人们团结在一起的能力被视为对富裕精英和现状的威胁,导致她最终被驱逐到英国。这篇文章将突出克劳迪娅·琼斯的生活和贡献,卡罗尔·博伊斯·戴维斯赋予了她新的生命。

Recreating Collective Memories of Africa in the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora 在非洲-加勒比侨民中重建非洲的集体记忆
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i1.36932
Stephane Martin Demers
Forced to succumb to a life of enslavement, African-turned-Afro-Caribbean slaves devel- oped a collective image of their beloved homeland and forged an unbreakable chain of solidarity among their many ethnicities. The collective recreation of Africa as manifest in the imagination of Afro-Caribbean slaves through the practice of Cuban Santería and Haitian Vodou in sixteenth- to eigh- teenth-century Cuba and Haiti catalyzed their resistance to European subjugation. In partic- ular, these recreated cultural memories served as a foundation for the enslaved to subvert the dominant culture and resist enslavement. Syncretism fails to properly acknowledge the Afro-Caribbean slaves’ efforts in challenging the imperial regime and the role these efforts played in maintaining their African roots. The tumultuous yet hopeful history through which Cuban Santería and Haitian Vodou evolved reveals that the African spirit continuously takes on new forms but never dies.
被迫屈服于奴役生活的非洲裔加勒比奴隶,塑造了他们挚爱家园的集体形象,并在他们的许多种族之间建立了牢不可破的团结链。16至14世纪古巴和海地通过古巴Santería和海地Vodou的实践,在非裔加勒比奴隶的想象中,非洲的集体娱乐促进了他们对欧洲征服的抵抗。特别是,这些重新创造的文化记忆为被奴役者颠覆主流文化和抵抗奴役奠定了基础。融合主义未能恰当地承认非裔加勒比奴隶在挑战帝国政权方面所做的努力,以及这些努力在维护其非洲根源方面所发挥的作用。古巴人Santería和海地人Vodou经历了动荡但充满希望的历史,这表明非洲精神不断呈现出新的形式,但从未消亡。

After Peter Doig’s “Music of the Future” 彼得·多伊格的“未来音乐”之后
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.37335

The poem is loosely inspired by Peter Doig’s painting “Music of the Future” and reimagines the night scene that is depicted in the painting. The poetic voice is rooted in a deep sense of place while simultaneously speaking from the outer edges of that place, creating a liminal space through poetic images and narrative.
这首诗的灵感来自彼得·多伊格的画作《未来的音乐》,并重新想象了画中描绘的夜景。诗意的声音根植于一个深刻的地方感,同时又从那个地方的外部边缘说话,通过诗意的图像和叙事创造了一个有限的空间。

Politics, Identity and Jamaican Music 政治,身份和牙买加音乐
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.36920
Rachelle Sanicharan
Music in Jamaica has a long history that is very much intertwined with religious, social, and political factors. As the development of reggae music grew, it became increasingly popular in relation to politics and social issues. This research examines the development of reggae and dancehall music in Jamaica in relation with politics and identity. In turn, this research seeks to present the importance of Jamaican music as a voice for Jamaican people—an accurate presentation of their experiences and their beliefs.

A Revolutionary Cuisine: Food, Liberation & Cubanidad 革命烹饪:食物、解放和古巴主义
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.36902
Ruth Masuka
In one of his infamous speeches, Castro challenged Cubans with the question: “Why should we eat peaches? We were made to think that peaches were the best thing going and when we’d visit someone’s house they’d offer us peaches. So we all thought that...peaches were better than mangoes, but peaches are expensive and foreign and mangoes are sweeter, cheaper, and much better.” Castro’s words spoke to how food, as an instrument of identity formation, allegiances, and community solidari- ty, is an intrinsic part of Cuba’s history. In a Cuban context, food and cuisine can be understood as a site of resistance given the daily role food has in defining Cubanness. Its function goes beyond a mere biological necessity of nourishment and can be understood as a signifier of cultural capital, economic mobility, and social status. This paper seeks to demonstrate the ways in which food is so intertwined with music, religion, and other social institutions that it has become a storytelling practice of the narrative of Cuba’s complex and nuanced historical, political, and socioeconomic reali- ties. Food is not just a matter of what appeals to some- one’s taste, but a matter of what appeals to someone’s ideologies. Cuba’s cuisine is an informant in understand- ing the intersections between the choices of individuals, communities, and the state-at-large.
在一次臭名昭著的演讲中,卡斯特罗向古巴人提出了一个问题:“我们为什么要吃桃子?我们被强迫认为桃子是最好的东西,当我们去别人家时,他们会给我们提供桃子。所以我们都认为……桃子比芒果好,但桃子又贵又洋,芒果更甜、更便宜、更好。”。卡斯特罗的话表明,食物作为身份形成、忠诚和社区团结的工具,是古巴历史的固有组成部分。在古巴的背景下,食物和烹饪可以被理解为一个抵抗的场所,因为食物在定义古巴性方面的日常作用。它的功能超越了营养的生物学必要性,可以被理解为文化资本、经济流动性和社会地位的象征。本文试图展示食物与音乐、宗教和其他社会制度交织在一起的方式,使其成为古巴复杂而微妙的历史、政治和社会经济现实叙事的一种讲故事的实践。食物不仅仅是一个人的口味,而是一个人的意识形态。古巴美食是了解个人、社区和整个国家选择之间交叉点的一个信息来源。

Contemplating the Afterlife of Slavery 思考奴隶制的来世
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.36939
Stephane Martin Demers
Évelyne Trouillot’s novel The Infamous Rosalie makes it abundantly clear that slavery was deeply ingrained in all aspects of an enslaved person’s life. Enslaved expectant mothers in late-eighteenth-century Saint-Domingue contemplated the afterlife of slavery through acts of gynecological resis- tance such as abortion and infanticide as well as marronage both in the novel and as a historical actuality. These acts of resistance laid the groundwork for the development of a collective liberation mentality among slaves necessary for the emergence of an independent Haiti and the creation of the first Black Repub- lic. Black counter-historical narratives, such as Trouillot’s novel, can provide historians with a vantage point from which to understand how historical actors who are often silenced were some of the greatest agents of change and justice in the modern era. Enslaved women should occupy a space in scholarly literature and historical discourse that honors their actions as active agents in search of collective liberation and independence.
Évelyne Trouillot的小说《声名狼藉的罗莎莉》非常清楚地表明,奴隶制深深植根于被奴役者生活的方方面面。18世纪末,圣多明各被奴役的准妈妈们在小说和历史现实中,通过堕胎、杀婴以及婚姻等妇科抵抗行为,思考了奴隶制的来生。这些抵抗行为为奴隶集体解放心态的发展奠定了基础,这种心态是独立的海地的出现和第一个黑人共和国的创建所必需的,可以为历史学家提供一个有利的视角,让他们了解那些经常被噤声的历史行动者是如何成为现代变革和正义的最伟大推动者的。被奴役的妇女应该在学术文献和历史话语中占据一席之地,尊重她们作为寻求集体解放和独立的积极推动者的行动。

Counternarratives of Nationalist Anti-Black Images: Normalizing and Extolling Blackness in Contemporary Art of the Hispanic Caribbean 民族主义反黑人形象的反叙事:拉美裔加勒比地区当代艺术中的黑人正常化与颂扬
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.36899
Liza Girgis
This article examines contemporary art of the Hispanic Caribbean as a counternarrative to the antiblack aesthetic ideals in the region. By exploring beauty standards on these islands through quotidian language and images that portray beauty, the prolif- eration of whiteness as the epitome of the aesthetic is exhibited in modern day Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Cuba. This article follows the work of scholars who have theorized and evidenced that the post-independence narrative has dominated the islands’ perceived racial identities, marginalizing blackness and praising whiteness. We add that this discourse has also impacted its peoples’ daily beauty rituals, as most of them facilitate the ‘whitening’ of one’s appearance. Present-day art that extolls blackness and questions the exclusion of people of African descent on the islands thus serves as a powerful truth reveal; contrarily to the official history, negritude is not rebellion, rather it is the region’s nature and beauty. In other words, this research seeks to explore how this art portrays negritude as the face of the Hispanic Caribbean, normalizing and celebrating the appearance of the majority of its people.
本文考察了西班牙裔加勒比地区的当代艺术,作为对该地区反黑人美学理想的反叙事。通过日常语言和描绘美的图像来探索这些岛屿上的美标准,在现代多米尼加共和国、波多黎各和古巴展示了作为审美缩影的白人的繁衍。这篇文章遵循了学者们的工作,他们从理论上证明了独立后的叙事主导了岛屿的种族身份,边缘化了黑人,赞扬了白人。我们补充说,这种话语也影响了人们的日常美容仪式,因为大多数美容仪式都有助于“美白”自己的外表。当今的艺术赞美黑人,质疑岛上非洲人后裔被排斥在外,因此成为一个强有力的真相揭示;与正史相反,黑人不是反叛,而是这个地区的自然和美丽。换言之,这项研究试图探索这种艺术如何将黑人描绘成西班牙裔加勒比人的面孔,使大多数人的外表正常化并得到庆祝。

Internal and External Factors to the Success of the Cuban Revolution 古巴革命成功的内外因素
Pub Date : 2022-02-04 DOI: 10.33137/cq.v6i2.36919

Fidel Castro, the revolutionary leader of Cuba, gave a speech on the fourth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, mainly focus- ing on how to solidify the pueblo cubano under the revolutionary flag against the U.S. intervention. This paper aims to examine the Cuban revolution stand on the view from four years after Castro has died, to prove that what Castro has mentioned during his Fourth Anniversary Speech has been accomplished, as well as compare the revolutionary movements of its neighbours like Grenada, to see why Cuba could be the only successful example of socialism in the Western Hemisphere. The paper will focus on the social changes during the post-revolution Cuba based on the scholar research of Louis A. Pérez and John Walton’s comparison article between Grenada and Cuba.
古巴革命领袖菲德尔·卡斯特罗在古巴革命四周年之际发表演讲,主要讲述了如何将古巴人民团结在革命旗帜下,反对美国的干涉。本文旨在从卡斯特罗去世四年后的角度审视古巴革命,以证明卡斯特罗在四周年演讲中提到的内容已经完成,并将其邻国格林纳达等革命运动进行比较,看看为什么古巴可以成为西半球唯一成功的社会主义例子。本文将在路易斯·a·帕姆兹和约翰·沃尔顿比较格林纳达和古巴的文章的基础上,重点研究革命后古巴的社会变迁。
