	Panmedia Features
		Lamming: It is very curious the way this provocation against Cuba coincides with the electoral fever of presidential campaiging and the republican domination of the Congress.
		Lamming: Given our proximity to the United States and the very intimate interactions we have with the U.S., it is very difficult to find any Caribbean family that has no relations with America.
		Lamming: One of the major contributions made within the creative arts is through the novel, and, in a way, through the theatre, in which Caribbean society has been returned to itself.

	George Lamming: ‘An outstanding Caribbean literary icon’
		In like manner, Barbadian novelist George Lamming was made a Fellow of the Institute of Jamaica (IOJ) during a conference in his honour at the University of the West Indies, Mona last week-end.
		George Lamming was born in Barbados in 1927 in Carrington Village near Bridgetown, the setting of his most famous novel.
		It is semi-autobiographical fiction covering the life of the narrator G (George) from his ninth birthday, which he “celebrates” in the middle of heavy rains bringing a flood that dislocates many villagers to the forced uprooting of his aged mentor, Pa, from his home nine years later.

	Guyana Caribbean Politics: Book Shelf
		Lamming is less interested in their personal experience; not many "stories" spin out of their encounters.
		Lamming was, if not an ideologue, a serious author who asked us to take seriously issues that impacted our lives.
		When author Lamming isn't doing his sonorous voice-over, when he isn't urging his characters to impart chunks of folk wisdom and insight, the migrants in The Emigrants give you a real sense of what it was like to land and live in and discover England in the 1950s.

	Paul Dorn: George Lamming Article
		For George Lamming, however, a single narrative approach is inadequate to properly convey the effects of colonial oppression.
		To present a fully developed sense of life in the village, Lamming relates part of his story through the third-person accounts of the British school, the wharf workers' strike, the riot that spreads from the city to the village, the evictions carried out by the new landowners, and the conversations between Ma and Pa.
		Lamming's novel is an important early attempt to communicate the Caribbean component of the resistance to capitalist oppression.

	Celebration of George Lamming
		Lamming, often lionised as the premier political novelist of the English-speaking Caribbean, will deliver the closing address for the event, for which there will be over 20 formal presentations as well as panel discussions involving participation from the Caribbean, Africa, Britain and the USA.
		Although spending many years in England and the USA, writing and lecturing, Lamming has acquired a popular reputation for living among and sharing the experiences of the peoples of a Caribbean region he has long made his home and across which the acclamations are at times even greater than in his native Barbados.
		But she agrees that it is true that George Lamming's speeches "have given and give real stimulus to the questioning of insufficiently challenged 'truths' and to the opening of the discussion of ideas among the Caribbean people".

	Jamaica Kincaid, Merle Hodge, George Lamming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The novels of Jamaica Kincaid, Merle Hodge and George Lamming plunge head on into this no-man's land, where the fl child is in a state of confusion, desperate to clutch his/her roots, roots that s/he has never developed.
		The novel thus ends on an ironic note: to save Tee, who is unable to return to the Caribbean-ness she has known in Tantie's household through having become socialized in the worship of Englishness, Tantie sends her to the ultimate source of this cultural negation: to the metropolis, to England.
		George Lamming wrote In the Castle of my Skin, an intensely local novel in which he portrays the claustrophobic intimacy of the native village, when he was twenty-three and homesick in London.

		George Lamming's "In the Castle of My Skin" skillfully depicts the Barbadian psyche.
		Set against the backdrop of the 1930s riots which helped to pave the way for Independence and the modern Barbados, through the eyes of a young boy, Lamming portrays the social, racial, political and urban struggles with which Barbados continues to grapple even with some thirty-three years of Political Independence from Britain.
		Through his characters, Lamming paints a clear picture that allows us to see how racism not only affects its victims, but how it is also perpetuated by its victims.

		Retracing the history of colonial intervention in the anglophone Caribbean and seeking connections among Africa, the Caribbean, and England, Caliban's Curse moves beyond the popular perception of the archipelago as an ahistorical tourist paradise and presents the islands as a space populated by the tragic and triumphant cultures of the fl diaspora.
		Putting George Lamming in conversation with such contemporaries as C.L.R. James, Derek Walcott, and Wilson Harris, Nair argues that Lamming's works expand the protest of Shakespeare's Caliban to articulate a reinvention of Caribbean cultures.
		She brings to existing studies of Lamming a wide and sustained knowledge of the forces that have shaped the West Indian novel, and the wider postcolonial debates in which these novels are read and discussed." --Simon Gikandi, University of Michigan
