Afro-Caribbean poetry and ritual
Griffith, Paul A.,1952-

Afro-Caribbean poetry and ritual[electronic resource] /Paul A. Griffith. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - xiii, 219 p.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The limbo: ritual reentry into history -- Shipwrecked in the Middle Passage: limbo as agon ofsoul -- Folk masques: ritualizing time and space -- Mythic voices: art as the inheritance of responsibility -- Lullabies and children's games: word as genesis of spirit -- Spiritual adventure throughsong -- Tales and fables: charting the interstice.

Focusing on orally transmitted cultural forms in the Caribbean, thisbook reaffirms the importance of myth and symbol in folk consciousnessas a mode of imaginative conceptualization. Paul A. Griffith cross-references Kamau Brathwaite and Derek Walcott's postcolonial debates with issues at seminal sites where Caribbean imaginary insurgencies took root. This book demonstrates the ways residually oral forms distilled history, society, and culture to cleverly resist aggressions authored through colonialist presumptions. In an analysis of the archetypal patterns in the oral tradition - both literary and nonliterary, this impressive book gives insight into the way in which people think aboutthe world and represent themselves in it.
