Narratives of Amerindians in Trinidad and Tobago; or, Becoming Trinbagonian

Selwyn Reginald Cudjoe

4.9/5 (18907 ratings)

Description:Trinidad and Tobago is a multi-racial, multicultural society. While much attention has been paid to the literature of the African, East Indian, and European elements of the society, little space has been accorded the Amerindian-inspired dimension of that literary heritage. 'The Narratives of Amerindians in Trinidad and Tobago; or, Becoming Trinbagonian' brings together poems, dramas, and stories that have been inspired by the Amerindian presence/absence during the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Those experiences, an integral part of Trinidad and Tobago's literary landscape, need to be given the attention they deserve. Elma Reyes, an early scholar of Amerindian history, notes: The only 'roots' of this nation are those planted by the first nations, for all other aspects of our culture and survival systems are transplants, branches which were successfully 'budded' to the main tree which existed long before their [Europeans] arrival.
