Categorization is a human’s identification process(Rosch, 3). It only when the class divisions come into play that the identified human subgroups become forms of oppression. Aime Cesaire’s reference to ‘thingification’ is a prime example of this process(Cesaire, 42). Colonizing Europeans desired laborers to increase capital at lower rates, to lift national wealth, existing nations had to be exploited, and yet moral and religious bounds dictated that to do these things to a fellow ‘man’ was a cruelty. So

If fish are the worst to ask about water, the medium they move, grow and experience life through, perhaps the same can be said for culture . It 's difficult to take notice of something of which you are an intrinsic part. There need to be an elapse of time to take notice. In some cases there are events that stretches out, lengthen and perhaps deepen our perceptions. For me it has moved to Jersey City out of necessity and living here for almost three years now. While I do work and spend all my free

In a perfect world, the Caribbean is like a quilt that has been stitched together by a mother or grandmother. It eventually comes together to form a unique blanket that incorporates a multi-dimensional group of different pieces of colors and sizes in its final product.

In Robert J. C. Young’s book, Postcolonialism, A Very Short Introduction, he explains “Postcolonialism claims the right of all people on this earth to the same material and cultural well-being. The reality, though, is that the world today is a world of inequality, and much of the difference fails across the broad division between people of the west and those of the non-west” (2). This sentence sums up the separation of civilizations in various parts of the world due to the consequences of colonialism

The author parodies Shakespeare’s play from post-colonial point of view. Cesaire also changes the occupations and races of his characters. For example, he transforms the occupation of Prospero, who was a magician, and changes him into a slave-owner, and also changes Ariel in Mulatto, though he was a spirit. Cesaire, like Rhys, makes use of a famous work of literature, and put a spin on it in order to express the themes of power, slavery and colonialism

Medieval Things: Materiality, Objects, and Literary Practice In this seminar we will study critical works of medieval English literature along current theoretical writing that shares an interest in things and objects. Since the 1980s, the humanities and social sciences have developed new approaches of thinking about materiality.

reluctantly accepted his works. Despite these harsh critics, Hughes’ stress on racial pride and nationalism united all Africans across the globe, not just America. He helped inspire many foreign Black writers as well, such as Nicolás Guillén, Aimé Césaire, and even contributed to the Négritude movement in France - many Blacks critically analyzed themselves in the beginning of European

Interpretation Alternatives of The Tempest      A production of The Tempest should emphasize the idealized methods in which Prospero uses magic to solve the problem of revenge which is so prevalent throughout his tragedies, perhaps the production might be a direct allegory for the magic of the theatre itself.   In this conception of the play, the scattering and bringing together of the characters in the script is significant in that theatre also could be said to bring people together and allow
