Beckles, Hilary (FRW), ISBN 9766405042, ISBN-13 9789766405045, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This collection of provocative new essays from interdisciplinary perspectives seeks to end familiar narratives that regard the Irish as undesirables according to the English--disempowered, their “whiteness” questioned--and opens the door on new viewpoints regarding the Irish presence in the Caribbean, which began in the seventeenth century. Seventeen chapters are divided into three parts: histories of encounter and exchange; cultural performance and exchange; comparative readings and critical encounters. Chapters are: a changing presence; Father Antoine Biet’s account revisited; the Irish in Barbados; liberty, freedom and the green Atlantic; Irish encounters with the Jamaican plantocracy, 1; entanglements of root and branch; historic and contemporary Irish identity on Montserrat; cataloguing Ireland; Pamela Colman Smith’s performative primitivism; the final fortress; water songs; the haunted ocean; Que diga perejil/Abair broagh; Medbh McGuckian’s Shelmalier and Dionne Brand’s Inventory; “two tunes”; mutual obsessions; rewriting Heathcliff.
