Indo-Trinidadian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Indo-Trinidadian population originates from indentured labourers brought to work in sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean following the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833. A substantial minority of Indo-Trinidadians trace their ancestry to indentured immigrants to Guyana, Jamaica, St. Vincent, Grenada or other islands in the Caribbean. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Indo-Trinidadian

Indo-Caribbean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An Indo-Caribbean is a person of South Asian origin who lives in the Caribbean, or the descendant of such a person. Smaller groups of Indo-Caribbeans live elsewhere in the Caribbean, especially Barbados, Jamaica, Martinique and Guadeloupe. From 1838 to 1917, Indians were brought to the Caribbean as indentured servants to address the demand for labour following the abolition of slavery. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Indo-Caribbean

A5D625277193EFB4052565600060D46B?OpenDocument While the servitude and indentureship of Indians became the white colonizers' answer to the emancipation of black slaves, the Indo-Caribbean woman ultimately came to experience the dual reality of both gender and, now, race oppression - a situation which is critical to understanding the status of many non-white-Canadian women today. Writer, activist, performer, poet, artist, mother, Indian, Caribbean and Canadian, Ramabai Espinet's contribution to Canadian women's writing and activism is made all the more significant as she continues to speak from within the outer margins of mainstream society - a space inhabited by the visible minority woman. Having read her works at the NGO Forum on Women '95 in Beijing, as well as in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean, Ramabai's vision is quickly being transported across a global landscape. www.coolwomen.org /coolwomen/cwsite.nsf/vwWeek/A5D625277193EFB4052565600060D46B?OpenDocument

Caribbean Literature:ABOUT As a group, Latino Caribbeans write an ethnic literature in English that is born of their struggle to forge an identity separate from both the influences of their parents' culture and those of the United States. Caribbean literature is usually conceptualized in regional, thematic, and post-independence ideological terms. The rest of the book discusses 20th-century Caribbean literature, the dialogic relationship between modern and early modern works, and the contribution of women writers to the progression of the Caribbean narrative at the close of the 20th century. www.caribbeaninspired.com /caribbean/books/caribbean-literature1.htm

.: Guyanesevibes ™ Indo Caribbean Life :. Although there was no absolute ethnic split between Indo- and Afro-Guyanese in regard to these two parties, increasingly violent confrontation entrenched the ethnic division. In any case, because of the traditional commitment to higher education and continuing parental pressure, the percentage of students from the Indo Guyanese Canadian community that attends university has remained high, compared with the Canadian average. In addition, there are numerous doctors who have worked not only in the Caribbean but also in England and Scotland and have completed postgraduate work. www.guyanesevibes.net /indo%20caribbean.html

Small Axe--Public Spectacles: Caribbean Women and the Politics of Public Performance The spectacle of Caribbeanness on parade at the Miss Universe pageant was generally a proud moment for the local audience and did not appear to be viewed as anything akin to the mindless caricaturing of local culture that is the usual entertainment at tourist resorts, despite the similar financial aims of both endeavors. The origins and development of Caribbean discourse on "public women" illustrate the historical nature of state and class interests in women's behavior in the public arena of the street, in the "low-brow" arena of the dancehalls and the carnivals, and in the "middle-brow" venue of the beauty pageant stages. In many--if not all--of the Caribbean societies where the black population is a plurality or a majority, there seems to be an almost visceral desire both to emphasize their multicultural nature and to deemphasize their blackness, at least where middle- or high-brow culture is concerned. iupjournals.org /smallaxe/sm13.html

Indo-Caribbean Writers •Ethnic Cleavage and Closure in the Caribbean Diaspora. While it is indeed true that Blacks predominate in the overall Caribbean landscape, it is however a fact that in Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad there is a majority of Indians in the population. Within the Caribbean the “others” are being constantly bombarded with cultural indignity and identity insults brought about by being declared invisible people. www.guyanajournal.com /icw.html

BBC Caribbean And though Indo Caribbean people complain about resentment from African-American and from Latinos, it is the Italians, who dominated many of the neighbourhoods now know as Little Guyana, that have been hardest on them. The murder of a Guyana-born New Yorker by a Hispanic has led many Indo Caribbean people in New York to conclude that it was a racial crime and that they are under threat though the evidence is it was a simple attack, without racial motive. Italian-Americans were involved in all the attacks on Indo Caribbean people mentioned by Baldeo. www.bbc.co.uk /caribbean/news/story/2005/03/050302_nyguyane-hatecrime.shtml

Caribbean Net News: Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin (Trinidad) condemns CCJ Now that the Regional Judicial and Legal Service Commission (RJLSC) has finalized the appointment of the first set of judges for the Caribbean Court of Justice (which is supposed to replace the Privy Council) we wish to express our concern at the exclusion and marginalisation of the Indo-Caribbean community. The voice and concerns of Indians as a group are seldom heard (far less listened to) in the rush towards Caribbean integration. Gopio wishes to place on record its strong opposition to the abolition of the Privy Council and its replacement by the CCJ because it is clear that this is an elite judicial institution in which there is no room for Indians. www.caribbeannetnews.com /2004/12/14/gopio.htm

Diasporic Dis(locations) The book explores how cultural traditions and female modes of opposition to patriarchal control were transplanted from India and rearticulated in the Indo-Caribbean diaspora to determine whether the idea of "cultural continuity" is, in fact, a postcolonial reality or a fictionalized myth. The book is of critical interest to those interested in twentieth-century literary studies, Caribbean studies, gender studies, ethnic studies and cultural studies. www.uwipress.com /shop/blurbs/Diasporic.html

Essays On Women and the Emergence of an Indo-Caribbean Community in British Colonies :: Free College Essays : Custom Essay Writing Caribbean culture is described in relations to indentured slaves brought from India, and in particular Indian women who were subject to particular criteria for transport from India to former British Colonies. From this history, the complex culture of the Caribbean communities is traced to the British slave trades, and the subjugation of women within slave trading. Much of the cultural history of former British colonies such as Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, and other Caribbean countries is traced here to the slave trade conducted by the British during the 17th and 18th centuries. www.essayacademy.com /essays/african-american_studies_slavery_colonialism/essays-women_and_the_emergence_of_an_indo-caribbean_community_in_british_colonies.shtml

Caribbean Radio Soon, WNWK had become the station most Caribbean Americans were tuning in to, and many producers like Gil and Pat Bailey, Bobby Clarke of Irie Jam, Jeff Barnes, Ken Williams and others, made a name for themselves on the station. Caribbean radio programming has also been mushrooming in Canada, with most of the producers based in Toronto. Then in 1999, when WWRL 1600 AM also opened up their airwaves to independents, Caribbean American radio brokers were all too ready to jump on board. www.caribvoice.org /Features/radio.html

Book Review But superiority complex aside, the moral of the story may be that the Indo-Caribbean was versatile enough to still eat bhagi and roti, achieve the success of Ramphal and Luckhoo, and return to the mudflats of Canje. There was no place for him in the Caribbean, or if there was, it was, according to Eric Williams, "on the lowest rung of the ladder". One particular myth that has developed out of the second diaspora, is the impression by those left behind, that life in North America is a bed of roses, and this has led to the concomitant development of an idyllic complacency among those in the Caribbean waiting their turn to join their relatives in North America. www.guyanajournal.com /Jahji_GS.html

Settling - The British Indo-Caribbean Community Perhaps surprisingly, the experience of indentureship strengthened the resolve of the majority of Indians (approximately two-thirds) to remain in the Caribbean and make their homes there. Thus in the wake of the African slaves there followed a traffic involving 'Coolie ships' from India, which carried Indian indentured labourers to replace African slaves on the Caribbean plantations. As bonded labourers, these poorly paid Indians were caught in a cycle of poverty and indebtedness to their employers and often, like their predecessors the African slaves, they were engaged in continuous resistance against their oppressors. www.movinghere.org.uk /galleries/histories/caribbean/Settling/indo_caribbean.htm

june_2_p_27.htm Ambassador Agnihotri welcomed the leaders of the Indo-Caribbean Community and said that he was pleased to see the intense desire on their part to remain connected with India and to further deepen that connection. The Ambassador also stated that Indianness transcends diversity of faiths and reflected in the intense desire of the Indo-Caribbean communities to remain united. The Ambassador also mentioned that during his last visit to the Caribbean countries and recent visits to Portugal and Spain, he had the opportunity to go to a mosque, a temple and a church. www.bjp.org /today/june_0203/june_2_p_27.htm

Indo-Caribbean People: Struggles and Challenges to Create Their Own Space in Government There is no doubt that Indo-Caribbean politicians are held to a higher standard than NonIndo-Caribbean politicians for the simple reason that the corridors of political power are not perceived as within their domain, by a large section of the Caribbean populace. It was further insinuated that in their heydays, the DLP was the most effective Opposition in the Caribbean with the undercurrent being that it is in the opposition benches where the "recalcitrant minority" belongs, while the seats of government are for the so-called nationalist of the Williams' tradition. The "hell" that is being unleashed on the peaceful Guyanese people are no doubt motivated by the fact that some sections of that community is of the opinion that they should be in the government by decree, given that they were in that country before these plebeians of indentured immigrants. www.caribvoice.org /Opinions/ashford.html

rfmcdpei: [BRIEF NOTE] What's Up Lately? I assure those readers that Toronto's Parkdale is rather different, with a large immigrant population, particularly Vietnamese and Caribbean, both Afro-Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean. The public library has an excellent collection of books on the Caribbean, incidentally. Those of my readers who are Islanders will recognize that name--Parkdale was a former suburb of the city of Charlottetown before amalgamation in the mid-1990s, a suburban collection of residential districts and strip malls. www.livejournal.com /users/rfmcdpei/460268.html

Indo-Caribbean film links deepen - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM First among the agenda of the CIFIPP venture is the establishment of a Caribbean Film Institute in Jamaica, the first of its kind in the Caribbean. The Caribbean India Film Industry Partnership Project (CIFIPP) has been launched with a mandate to facilitate Jamaica becoming the acknowledged centre of film and video production for the Caribbean, with links through India, to Africa and other regions of the world. The project is being spearheaded by Professor Ajai Mansingh, who as liaison to the Indian Government's Film Industry and Cultural Affairs office, is currently in the Indian city of Mumbai where he is holding reciprocal discussions with counterparts in that country. www.jamaicaobserver.com /lifestyle/html/20040422T210000-0500_58885_OBS_INDO_CARIBBEAN_FILM_LINKS_DEEPEN_.asp

Arising from Bondage: A History of the Indo-Caribbean People @ Books Free Today in the English-speaking Caribbean alone there are one million people of Indian descent and they form the majority in Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. This study, based on official documents and archives, as well as previously unpublished material from British, Indian and Caribbean sources, fills a major gap in the history of the Caribbean, India, Britain and European colonialism. From the 1830's through World War I hundreds of thousands of indentured laborers were shipped from India to the Caribbean and settled in the former British, Dutch, French and Spanish colonies. static.booksfree.com /ari/arisingfrombondageahistoryoftheindocaribbeanpeople

articleView.cfm?articlenumber=788 On Fridays and Saturdays, CalypsoCity still shakes and shimmies to soca, chutney, bhangra and Bollywood songs, popular in the Indo- and Afro-Caribbean, twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago and its cultural cousin, Guyana. At the Caribbean clubs of Richmond Hill and Jamaica, tradition is just another cultural influence, and music a referendum on what makes an American. Still itching to reconnect with Caribbeans in Queens, they crept back last October, naming their newest venue Club Tobago--a none-too-subtle overture to the Trinidadian and Tobagan set that CalypsoCity has long dominated. www.citylimits.org /content/articles/articleView.cfm?articlenumber=788

Events : HCI London The aim of this event is to promote larger scale recognition of the Indo-Caribbean culture and to support Indo- Caribbean artists by providing networking and community links. The event is the result of Sarah Najair?s search into her roots, which led to a heartfelt need to share what she found with regard to the arrival of Indians in the Caribbean. East Indians are the largest ethnic minority in Jamaica (3.5%), who were taken there as indentured labourers between 1845 and 1917. www.hcilondon.net /hciserv/EventIndex?source=eventdetails&EventCode=113

Journal of Indo Caribbean Research The Journal of Indo Caribbean Research (JICR) is a multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the study and promotion of all Indo Caribbean issues. While not necessarily challenging the legitimacy of present scholarship, it is expected that contributors to the Journal of Indo Caribbean Research will bring to focus study and analysis of the social, cultural, political, economic, scientific, historical and other issues pertaining to Indo Caribbean people which have long been ignored and overlooked. It is a peer reviewed semi-annual journal which will examine ongoing and future research, and scholarship pertaining to Indo Caribbean people. venus.uwindsor.ca /courses/geography/lakhan/JICR.htm

Film documents oppression of laborers brought to Caribbean from India: South Florida Sun-Sentinel Guiana 1838, which was filmed in the Caribbean country, covers the period in colonial history when Britain was forced to abolish slavery, and Indians were shipped in as indentured servants on sugar plantations. Jagessar said many revolted and abandoned their work, which caused planters to import laborers from India, who were also shipped to Trinidad and other Caribbean islands. But the first Indian servants who arrived in 1838 were actually treated as slaves, he said, until a year later when the abuses were exposed and Britain took corrective measures. www.sun-sentinel.com /features/lifestyle/sfl-liguyanafeb03,0,4827091.story?coll=sfla-features-headlines

Ishanaa Rambachan: Student Affiliate I will also be traveling to the Caribbean this summer and will be able to connect worship in Indo-Caribbean temples to their roots in this part of the world. A significant proportion of the Hindu diaspora in the United States is from Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa, East Africa and the Caribbean. Through journeying to the Hindu Temple of Minnesota, I will contrast its practices with those in the Caribbean temples. www.pluralism.org /affiliates/student/rambachan/index.php
