E. Kamau Brathwaite's Masks: Essays & Annotations (Caribbean Critics Series)

Maureen Warner-Lewis

4.9/5 (22575 ratings)

Description:E. Kamau Brathwaite's Essays and Annotations traces the personal and generational factors shaping the concerns of a Caribbean poet and developing his reintegration with an ancestral history - a history consciously retrieved, since it is not that of the dominant culture of the plantation and colonial eras. It further elucidates how the resources of ancestral belief, symbol and ritual enrichen the thematic, metaphoric and rhythmic dimensions and contemporary poetry. Specifically, the poem Masks considers the relationship between Africa and its diaspora in the West Atlantic. On a more abstract level, the poem examines the dialectical and therefore paradoxical relationship between history and time, between human hopes and fears, temporal achievements and failures. The cycle of human migrations imposes the constant challenge of new physical and cultural environments, and the recurrent need for self and group redefinition. "[...] an excellent introduction to and commentary on the second poem of Brathwaite's trilogy." (Ann Walmsley)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
