THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, MANY CONTEMPORARY WRITERS AND prominent figures of Haitian ancestral origin have alluded to the substantial role their ethnic selfidentity plays in various aspects of their life circumstances. Given the island nation’s tumultuous past, its enduring struggle with poverty, and waves of both documented and undocumented migration, many in mainstream society have come to see Haiti, Haitians, and its global diaspora in unduly negative terms. As novelist Edwidge Danticat states, “I think Haiti is a place that suffers so much from neglect that people only want to hear about it when it’s at its extreme. And that’s what they end up knowing about it.”1 Despite this, most Haitians and their descendants proudly embrace their heritage and culture, and the community, solidarity, and belonging that come with it. Given the conflicting dual implications of their ethnic identity, it is not surprising that Haitian American writer Jenny Delacruz noted: “[O]ur self-identity and connection to our roots are so powerful it can impact not only the course of our lives but also that of generations to come.”2 In the monograph Multifaceted Identities of Immigrant Haitian Families: Coping Strategies and Strengths, author Rolande Dathis’s core thesis conjures the very same line of reasoning. Crafting a compelling narrative of an empirically grounded nature, Dathis highlights how individuals belonging to multiple generations of Haitian immigrant families engage in the construction and adoption of various self-identities as a means of enduring and overcoming the many challenges encountered in their host country, the United States. The study’s findings are based on ethnographic interview data collected from a sample population of 31 Haitian immigrant families, amounting to 127 individual members in total. The sample was located throughout the Broward, Dade, and Hillsborough counties in Florida, the state which houses the highest population of persons of Haitian heritage in the United States.

THE SUCCESS AND LONGEVITY OF COLONIAL RULE depended on the use of force or the threat of superior force; and in any of its diverse manifestations and in all of its arenas, colonial rule was intimately linked with violence whether physical or psychological. But the beneficiaries of colonialism, although they utilised various forms of coercion, also hoped for popular consent to colonial rule. Those who managed the colonial project sought to encourage an acceptance of the status quo by seducing significant segments of the colonised population into believing that colonial rule was divinely ordained and/or the natural progression of human development. Part of this ongoing campaign to enlist the consent of the colonised to colonial rule involved the performances of white power which sought to elicit not only awe and fear but also respect and gratitude. These intermittent spectacles included celebrations of life milestones of the monarch, royal visits to the colonies, regular visits of British naval fleets accompanied by military route marches, and the ceremonies surrounding the arrivals and departures of the plumed-and-cork-hatted governors as representatives of the Crown. Celebrations like Empire Day, although initially aimed specifically at metropolitan schoolchildren, also became an important performance in the imperial panoply in the colonies.1 This essay explores the relationship between ‘spectacle’ and ‘imagination’ in a colonial context and discusses the ways in which some activities (whether consciously employed or not) had the potential of influencing the ways in which colonial subjects imagined themselves and the imperial context in which they were immersed. While emphasis is placed on military parades and their supporting music, the concept of spectacle used in this paper includes other kinds of non-military events. In addition to those imperial spectacles, where the public performance was organised by the state and clearly linked to some

“AN IRISH WEST INDIAN ATLANTIC” IS THE TITLE Mark S. Quintanilla gives to his introduction to Keane’s Letter Book. There has been a great deal of recent scholarly interest in, and research on, the Irish role in the Anglo-American Atlantic world of the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s, and its legacies into the 1900s and the present, especially in culture and literature. He cites many of these studies – though not this journal’s 2018 special issue (vol. 64, nos. 3 & 4) devoted to “Irish-Caribbean Connections”. This book reproduces the Letter Book of Michael Keane, an Irishman who served as attorney general of St Vincent, and also worked as a private lawyer, as a “planting attorney” or manager for absentee owners, and as a planter and enslaver in his own right. The Letter Book summarises some of his correspondence and also contains full copies of many of his letters, some quite long. It covers three years (1787–90), a time when St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) was on the frontier of British colonialism. As Quintanilla writes in his interesting and scholarly introduction (13–49), “the eighteenth-century Irish Atlantic followed the contours of the British empire” (13), expanding with the acquisition of the “Ceded Islands” in 1763 and contracting with the loss of the American colonies in 1783. The Ceded Islands (SVG, Grenada, Dominica, Tobago) represented the ‘new’ colonies opening up for British plantation development after 1763, the second phase of British expansion in the region, after the initial settlement of the ‘old’ colonies (Barbados, the Leewards, Jamaica) in the 1600s. The Letter Book (49–183) is held by the Virginia Historical Society as part of a larger family collection. Quintanilla has painstakingly transcribed the manuscript and supplied numerous annotations, which reflect an immense effort of archival research, in the SVG Archives (wills, deeds and baptismal records), archives in the UK and the USA, Irish newspapers and magazines and contemporary publications. As a primary source, now accessible to students

MY WORK CENTRES ON AN EXPLORATION OF Blackness and womanhood through textile-based portraiture. Working through the lens of Black feminist thought, I have investigated restorative modes of resistance and constructed a supportive framework by which to utilise them. This work is an inquiry into the portrait as a tool of resistance and is motivated by the desire to represent Black women in a way that is nuanced, multilayered and honest.
