		Among Brathwaite's several awards are the Cholmondely Award in 1970, Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships in 1983, and the Neustadt Prize from 1994.

	Brathwaite, Edward Kamau Criticism and Essays
		Brathwaite was strongly influenced by the works of T. Eliot but his penchant for jazz, rhythmic experimentation, and his love of Caribbean vernacular are the most evident features of his poetry.
		Brathwaite was born on May 11, 1930, in Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados.
		Nana Wilson-Tagoe describes Brathwaite's poetry as a “mode of apprehension, in which the writer seeks community and image through a drama of consciousness.” The vast majority of Brathwaite's critics celebrate his poetry for its rhythms and evocations of the African past in the Caribbean present.

		Brathwaite’s conclusion derives from his revision of Eurocentric historical sources and brings up the need for a recuperation of the African contribution to the Jamaican society, basically of the ‘folk’ culture derived from West Africa.
		Brathwaite’s project is a response to the Eurocentric discourse on the Caribbean written over centuries and imposed on West Indians through the school system.
		It is a response to the colonial discourse.

	roots
		Brathwaite attempts a taxonomy of African representation in Caribbean writing; he also attempts an aesthetics of African expression and, through the use of a multitude of examples, an introduction to Caribbean literature.
		[In this vein, Brathwaite returns to Bell's poem, and analyzes Philip Sherlock's poem "Pocomania" {Guyana, 1958}.] But what is really surprising, given the Caribbean psycho-cultural inheritance, is not really the fear/avoidance response with regard to the African presence in the New World, but the persistent attempts, at all levels, to deal with it.
		But Paule Marshall's intention is crucial, and in it she unquestionably succeeds: to transform the Afro-Bajan out of his drab, materialistic setting with meaningful correlates of custom from across the water in ancestral Africa.

	Edward Kamau Brathwaite Biography \| Dictionary of Literary Biography
		Within the English-speaking Caribbean, Edward Kamau Brathwaite is widely regarded as the most important West Indian poet, though his work is not so well known abroad as that of Derek Walcott.
		Brathwaite's reputation rests on several volumes of verse, including two trilogies; on his electrifying performances of his own work; and on his charismatic presence: like Pablo Neruda or Nicolás Guillén, he is often perceived as the voice of his region's reflections about itself.

	Caribbean Writer On Line BOOK REVIEW - Jah Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Goethe wrote that he had found among his papers a sheet in which he called architecture "frozen music." The score of a musical composition does 'freeze' the music and store it on paper from which it can be unfrozen, but few can do this without playing the notes on an instrument.
		This collection is a fair substitute for that pleasure, and the titles of the poems provide a good guide for those readers to whom the performers of the various types are known.
		Brathwaite, who prefers to be known as Kamau rather than Edward, is obviously a keen fan of jazz and shows his pleasure in various exponents of such music in these poems.

	Ploughshares, the literary journal
		In the poems of Jane Shore, Barry Goldensohn, Edward Brathwaite, and James Wright, there is a great collective homage to the primary anecdote, the telling event in one's past, the memory one can't forget.
		The two voices of Edward Kamau Brathwaite tell a similar story although the biographical details are different.
		This leads me to question even Brathwaite's belief in the value of any one way of talking, and to suspect that he is using his "nation-language" to do virtuoso trills.

	Words Need Love Too
		Biographical note: Kamau Brathwaite was born in Barbados in 1930.
		In terms of the prevailing tone of Brathwaite’s later writing that optimistic moment may be short lived but Words Need Love Too serves as an important reminder of the emotional and spiritual range of this great Caribbean poet’s work.
		Brathwaite has been consistently aggressive in his poetics, and this book represents an iteration of his “Namestoura/Sycorax Video/tidalectics” style, which aspires to perform a cultural rehabilitation of the European and West African seeds in the Caribbean.

		I can't see anything in Brathwaite's poem to suggest that he was writing about limbo in the religious sense.
		It seems a gross exaggeration (perhaps in danger of being passed from one uncritical student to another!) to say that Brathwaite's poem tells 'in vivid detail' the story of the slave trade or the history of a people.
		Thus Brathwaite treats the difficult progression of the dancer edging with widespread knees under the stick as a symbol of moving out of darkness into light and liberation.
