DeapresCultural Pluralism and NationalistiPolitics in British Guiana (1956)!, SHXXX'ED READINGSINDEXContentsEDITORS' NOTEThe West Indies, the earliest and one of the most importantprizes of Europe's New World and the first to expertencethe full impact of the black diaspora from Africa,were also the most enduringly colonized territories in thehistory of the Western Hemisphere. Here more than anywhereelse maatere and slaves constituted the basic ingredientsof the social order; here more than anywhereelse class and status were based on disdnctiom of colorand race. Yet out of that past, here more than anywhereelse societies with black majorities have emerged as selfgoverning,multiracial states.This collection of four volumes4taves, Free Men.Citizens: Work and Family Life; Comuences of Classand Color: and The Aftermath of Sovereiyty-chromciathe remarkable story, played out on the doontep of theNorth American continent, of transitions from slavery to\\freedom, from colonialism to self-government, and fromself-rejection to prideful identity.The West Indies face a host of continuing pbkmforeigneconomic domination and population pressure,ethnic stress and black-power revolts, the ptty m y oflocal rulen and an agonizing dependence on expatriateculture. For these very reasons, the West Indies constitutean exceptional setting for the study of complex social relations.The archipelago is a set of mirrors in which thelives of black, brown, and white, of American Indian andEast Indian, and of a score of other minorities continually
viiiEditors* Noteinteract Constrained by local circumstance, these interactionsalso contain a wealth of possibilities for a kind ofcreative harmony of which North Americana and Europwaare acmxly yet aware. Consequently, while thcaevolume* deal aoecifically with the Canbhcan in all its aapects,many dimensions of life and many problems WestIndians confront have analogues in other regions of theworld: most clearly in race relations, economic developmeat. colonial and post-colonial politics and government.and the need to find and express moue identity.It can be argued that the west 6di4is a distinctive andunique culture area in that the societies within it displayprofound similarities: their inhabitants, notwithstandinglinguistic barriers and local or parochial loyalties, see themselvesas closely linked. These resemblances and recognitions,originally the product of similar economic and socialforces based on North European settlement, plantationagriculture, and African slavery, have subsequently beenreinforced by a widespread community of interest, alongwith interregional migration for commerce, employment.marriage, and education. These volumes focus mainly onthese underlying uniformities. Within the Canbbean itself,however, one is more conscious of differences than ofresemblances. While each Caribbean land is in part a microcosmof the entire archipelago, local conditionsÃ‘sizeresources, social structure, political status-also make it insome significant fashion uniquo.The range of these essays is the entire non-HispanicCaribbean, but moot of the material that is not general incharacter deals with the Commonwealth Caribbean, a pre-' ponderant share of this specifically with Jamaica and Trinidad.This reflects neither a bias in favor of these territoriesnor a belief that they are typical, but rather the fact thatmost recent scholarly attention has concentrated on, andliterary expression has emanated from, the CommonwealthCaribbean. Closer understanding of, and expression in. thesmaller French and Netherlands Canbbean and larger but' less well-known Haiti lie in the future.In the Caribbean, a real understanding of any problemEditors* Noterequires a broad familiarity with all aspects of culture anddety. Thus the study of economic development relatesintimately to that of family organization, and both of theseinterlink with aspects of political thought, syrtcma of cducation,and patterns of speech. Consequently, the mbjectmatter of this collection lies in the domains of history,geography, anthropology, sociology, cconomica, politics,polemics, and the arts. For example, essays on work andfamily life by economists and anthropologists are complementedby other studies tracing the historical backgroundand sociological interplay of these with other themes.Throughout these volumes economists and geographer8indicate how social structure bean on and is influencedby economy and land use; and linguists, litterateurs, lawyen,and local journalists provide insights on the impactof these patterns in everyday life.The reader will find here not a complete delineation ofthe Canbbean realm but rather a sketch in breadth, withfuller discussion of significant themes, given depth andpersonality by picaresque flavor. He may gain a sense ofwhat West Indians were and are like, how they live, andwhat problems they confront; be can see how their ownview of themselves differs from that of outsiders; he willknow where to look for general studies and for more dotailedinformation. And if there is such a thing as a regionalpersonality, this collection may enable him to acquirea sense of itWhat ia currently available to most students of Caribbeanaffair is woefully inadequate by co-n withmany other regions of the world A few general histories,technical analp of particular aspects of Canian a ~ -ciety or culture, and detailed studies of one or two individualterritories comprise the holdings of all but the beatequippedlibraries. Moreover, no book has yet beenpublished that includes a broad variety of material for thearea as a whole, and few studies transcend national orlinguistic boundarb We Iherefore aim to make availablea wide range of literature on the Cuibbeu that ii notreadily accessible anywhere else.I
