In Jamaica and Cuba Auteur(s) : De Lisser, Herbert George, 1878-1944 Éditeur(s) : Gleaner Co. Gleaner Co. ( Kingston, Jamaica ) Résumé : "Most of the following chapters first appeared in the Daily gleaner."- Pref. A visit to Panama: p. 153-162. (Biographical) From Wikipedia for H. G. de Lisser, from 29 June 2013: Herbert George de Lisser CMG (9 December 1878 - 19 May 1944) was a Jamaican journalist and author. He has been called "one of the most conspicuous figures in the history of West Indian literature". De Lisser was born in Falmouth, Jamaica, and attended William Morrison's Collegiate School in Kingston. He started work at the Institute of Jamaica at the age of 14. Three years later he joined the Jamaica Daily Gleaner, of which his father was editor, as a proofreader, and two years later became a reporter on the Jamaica Times. In 1903, De Lisser became assistant editor of the Gleaner and was editor within the year. He wrote several articles for the paper every day. He also produced a novel or non-fiction book every year, beginning in 1913 with Jane: A Story of Jamaica, significant for being the first West Indian novel to have a central black character. Another famous novel of his, The White Witch of Rosehall (1929), is linked to a legend of a haunting in Jamaica. De Lisser also wrote several plays. In December 1920 he began publishing an annual magazine, Planters' Punch. De Lisser devoted much time and effort to the revival of the Jamaican sugar industry and represented Jamaica at a number of sugar conferences around the world. He was also general secretary of the Jamaica Imperial Association, honorary president of the Jamaica Press Association, and chairman of the West Indian section of the Empire Press Union. He was appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 1920 New Year Honours. (Statement of Responsibility) by H. G. De Lisser.

Les noirs à l’heure de l’indépendance jamaïcaine : histoire d’une majorité marginale Auteur(s) : Ceyrat, Antony Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : L’article s’intéresse à la construction de l’identité noire en Jamaïque lors de l’indépendance obtenue du Royaume-Uni en 1962. Dominée par les Euro-créoles, paupérisée et confrontée à une offre politique nationale inadaptée, la population africaine souffre de l’absence d’une identité noire institutionnalisée, diluée dans le « nationalisme multiracial créole ». Ce travail met en lumière l’importance de l’histoire et des problématiques de la mémoire dans le processus de construction des identités sociales et souligne le rôle central de la culture dans les luttes de pouvoir. The article deals with the status of a Black identity in Jamaica when it became independent from the United Kingdom in 1962. Dominated by the Euro-Creoles, pauperized and facing an inadequate political offer, the African population suffers from the lack of an institutionalized blackness, melted into “Creole multiracialism”. This study highlights the importance of history and memory issues in the process of building up social identities, and underlines the central role of culture in conflicts of power.

Slavery and the Birth of the Black Church in the United-States ; L’esclavage et la naissance de l’église noire aux Etats-Unis Auteur(s) : Gadet, Steve, Auteurs secondaires : Centre de Recherche Interdisciplinaire en Lettres, Langues, Arts et Sciences Humaines (CRILLASH) ; Université des Antilles et de la Guyane (UAG) Éditeur(s) : HAL CCSD Université des Antilles Résumé : International audience From the moment the first Africans were brought to the Americas, religious life has become a way to transcend a humiliating and desperate life. Their lives were made of long days of forced work, inhuman living conditions, punishments and ill treatments of all sorts. Religious practice gave them a window onto another world. Over the years, it has slowly become a space of freedom and unique expression. The Black Church acted as a social movement on behalf of the African-american community. It has become a place of freedom which gradually has supported the foundations of their political expression and their demand of social justice. Understandably, as religion has always played a central role in North America, it is no wonder that it would play a central function in the liberation of slaves. Between the ideals of a divided nation and those of a marginalized community, the article analyzes the birth of the African-american church during slavery. Then, it examines the impact of African-american protestantism in the Caribbean through the life of George Leile, the first African-american missionary in Jamaica. Dès l’arrivée des premiers Africains déportés sur le sol américain, la vie religieuse est devenue un moyen de transcender un quotidien mortifère. Leur chemin est parsemé de longues journées de travail forcé, de conditions de vie inhumaines, de châtiments et de sévices en tous genres. La pratique religieuse leur donne une fenêtre sur un autre monde. D’année en année, le culte religieux deviendra un espace de relâchement, de liberté et d’expression unique. L’église chrétienne s’est comportée comme un mouvement social pour la communauté africaine-américaine. Elle est devenue un lieu de liberté qui, progressivement, supportera les fondations de l’expression politique et de la demande de justice sociale. Sa fonction pivotale s’explique également par le rôle de la religion dans la fondation de la société et la vie politique étasuniennes. Entre les idéaux d’une nation divisée, ivre de liberté et ceux d’une communauté poussée dans ses retranchements, cette contribution se propose d’analyser la naissance de l’église africaine-américaine durant l’esclavage. Ensuite, je me pencherai sur l’impact de cette dynamique dans la Caraïbe à travers la vie de George Leile, premier missionnaire africain-américain en Jamaïque.

Rastafari: Alternative Religion and Resistance against “White” Christianity Auteur(s) : Kroubo Dagnini, Jérémie Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Since the early sixteenth century, the history of Jamaica has been associated successively with slavery, Christian Evangelization, colonialism and neocolonialism, which gave rise to numerous revolutions, riots and various other forms of social unrest. Black Jamaicans have always lived in a constant state of resistance, a mentality that gave birth, in the early thirties, to a Jamaican religion called Rastafari. Besides studying the roots and symbolism of Rastafari, my paper is aimed at defining the Rasta movement as a religion born as a legitimate response to oppression and Christian Evangelization. In other words, my work examines Rastafari as a Pan-African and Afrocentric version of “White” Christianity. Depuis le début du seizième siècle, l’histoire de la Jamaïque a successivement été associée à l’esclavage, l’évangélisation, la colonisation et le néo-colonialisme, ce qui a engendré de nombreuses révolutions, émeutes et autres formes d’agitation sociale. Les Jamaïcains noirs ont toujours vécu dans un état de résistance, une mentalité qui a donné naissance, au début des années 1930, à une religion jamaïcaine appelée rastafari. Le but de cet article n’est pas seulement d’étudier les origines et le symbolisme de rastafari, mais également de définir le mouvement rasta comme une religion née en réponse légitime à l’oppression et l’évangélisation. En d’autres termes, cette étude analyse rastafari comme une version panafricaine et afrocentrique du christianisme « blanc ».

L’évolution de l’imaginaire dans les sociétés Barbadienne et Trinidadienne de 1995 à nos jours : La musique, la danse et le contexte carnavalesque ; Evolution of creativity in Barbadian and Trininadian societies from 1995 to nowadays : (music, dance and carnaval) Auteur(s) : Corosine Pétrus-Foucan, Viviane Auteurs secondaires : Antilles-Guyane Elbaz, Gilbert Résumé : Mondialisation et cultures populaires à Barbade et Trinidad (musique, Carnaval et danse) La culture caribéenne subit de plus en plus les assauts de la mondialisation. Et la question qui se pose concerne l'impact de la mondialisation sur la culture dans la région, c'est-à- dire le passage de la culture ethnique à la mondialisation. Au cours des siècles, le Caribéen, ce métis culturel, cet individu s'est façonné au contact d'influences diverses . Il faut attendre les années 1970 pour que la Barbade et Trinidad se forgent une nouvelle identité sous l'influence du Black Power venu des Etats - Unis et du mouvement Rastafari issu de la Jamaïque. Par ailleurs, l'influence de la télévision et de la musique américaine combinée aux migrations et aux effets de la mondialisation constitue des éléments majeurs à la formation de cette nouvelle identité. Aujourd 'hui après plus de cinquante ans d'indépendance, il y a une timide appréciation de la culture locale. Timide , parce qu'à radio, on entend plus de la musique internationale (américaine, anglais) que de musique locale (calypso, soca) saufpendant le Carnaval de Trinidad et le Crop Over de Barbade. Ce que regrettent les calypsoniens qui reprochent aux radios locales de ne diffuser cette musique que pendant cette période. De la musique caribéenne, les . jeunes de Barbade et de Trinidad plébiscitentures le reggae, la dancehall, le raggasoca, la musique soca. En fait, le calypso correspond à un moment de la vie. A Trinidad, la musique indienne joue un rôle important qui correspond à la population du pays. La musique de Rihanna, l'icône du moment n'a rien de caribéen. Mais son succès phénoménal à Barbade et ailleurs permet de mieux appréhender les facettes de l'identité caribéenne, en général et en particulier, celle de Barbadien et du Trinidadien. De nos jours, les nouvelles technologies accentuent les effets de la mondialisation et contribuent à l'émergence d'une « décréolisation » pour reprendre les termes de G. Létang et d'une nouvelle identité.. Globalization and popular cultures in Barbados and Trinidad Caribbean culture is under the influence ofglobalization. The question is here the impact ofglobalization on the culture in the region . Through centuries the Caribbean man has been made through different cultures. We must wait for the years 1970 to see Barbados and Trinidad which have been made a new identity under the influence of Black Power and the Rastafari movement coming from Jamaica. After more than 50 years ofindependence, there is a shy appreciation oflocal culture . There is more international music than calypso. In Trinidad the Indian music plays an important role corresponding ta the population of the country The new technologies increase the effect of the globalization. It constitutes the rise of the "decreolisation movement". http://www.theses.fr/2013AGUY0681/document | Partager |
