 Jamaica Gleaner - Jan Carew reads his early years - Thursday | June 6, 2002
His grandmother would retell the tale of her blowing breath back into Jan many times, and his memories of that night were of standing on the bank of a river and a host of dead relatives on the other side beckoning him to cross over.
Jan Carew told a tale of brief migration to New York, being shunted off to relatives back in Guyana as his mother concentrated on searching for his sister, who had been kidnapped in the United States.
Carew ended up with his mother boarding a bus in South Carolina, only to be ordered to sit in the back by a driver 'with the manners of a hog'.

 JAN CAREW
Jan Carew also has an unequalled curiosity about the world's peoples and especially of those of that world which endured and still endures centuries of suppression after the invasion of Columbus.
Carew lent his talents to the effort of the Nkrumah government to globalise the African revolution through communication with the literate world outside, absorbing the finest elements of the people's rich culture.
Novelist, poet, playwright, educator, Carew describes himself as "an inveterate wanderer for whom travel is like the breath of life." In addition to his education at Howard and Western Reserve Universities in the United States, he also studied at the Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia and the Sorbonne in France.

 IN SHORT: NONFICTION - New York Times
It was perhaps the broad diversity of the life of Malcolm X that made knowing him such a daunting prospect and that has reduced many of his idolators to celebrating only the contours of his public persona.
Jan Carew's lean but poignant book of recollections, "Ghosts in Our Blood," is refreshing in its deeper exploration of Malcolm X the slain leader, the brother, the friend, the ardent dreamer and the inspiration for the author.
Carew's recollections seem a little too precise -- filtered through 30 years of memory, the dialogue is incredibly exact -- the spirit of these conversations is still provocative and engaging.

Carew’s Garden of Eden paintings form the core of the exhibit, but it also encompasses the various aspects of the artist’s life and works through books, articles, photos and artifacts by and about Carew.
“Jan Carew is a rare treasure,” said Blaine Hudson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Carew’s “most important contribution—through his many literary creations—was his emphasis on the African component of the cultural heritage of persons of African ancestry throughout the world as a source of pride, strength and identity,” he said.

 Guyana Caribbean Politics
Carew seemed more interested in showing publishers that a colonized people, or their representatives, could think about themselves and write good narrative fiction.
Carew writes passages that back then might have been considered "colorful" if not steamy: "Elsa wrapped her legs around him and her animal smell attracted and repelled him in the same way it had done the first time he had laboured with her.
Carew's description of this ceremony is consciously crafted and detailed: an altar for sacrifice, a ram goat, a sword dance, the beheading of the ram goat, the "slow monotonous beat" of drums, the head of a fowlcock bitten off and spat in a fire, chants of the high priest, dancing girls.

 The Naming of America
Carew is resurrecting the ideas of Jules Marcou, a prominent French geologist who while studying North America argued, as did other 19th-century writers, that the name America was brought back to Europe from the New World; and that Vespucci had changed his name to reflect the name of his discovery.
Like Marcou, Carew wants us to believe that America was not named after Vespucci, but vice versa; that Vespucci had, so to speak, re-named himself after his discovery, gilding his given name by modifying it to reflect the significance of his discovery.
Vespucci was born in 1454 in Florence, where he was baptized, according to the official record, "Amerigho [not, as Carew asserts, Alberigo] Vespucci"; the use of the form Amerigho for Amerigo is an instance of the orthographic anarchy that existed in the spelling of proper names.

For Carew, however, the "truth" he found in his reading of history becomes a source of rage: "Robbing peoples and countries of their indigenous names was one of the cruel games that colonizers played with the colonized....
To rob people or countries of their names is to set in motion a psychic disturbance which can in turn create a permanent crisis of identity.

Another example of Malcolm's recognition of the need to keep developing was his conversation with Jan Carew with whom he was staying in London two weeks before his assassination.
Carew's account of the conversation in Ghosts in our Blood (Lawrence Hill Books, 1994) should be required reading for everyone who repeats "by all means necessary" as if that was all that Malcolm stood for.
Carew begins the exchange by identifying himself as a "socialist, a Pan-Africanist, a Black Marxist, a nationalist who believes in the cultural unity of the Black world based on our common resistance to white racism," He then asks Malcolm where he stands.

The theory holds that a variant of Amerike's name appeared on an early British map (of which however no copies survive) and that this was the true inspiration for Waldseemüller.
Another theory, first advanced by Jules Marcou in 1875 and later recounted by novelist Jan Carew, is that the name America derives from the district of Amerrique in Nicaragua.
The gold-rich district of Amerrique was purportedly visited by both Vespucci and Columbus, for whom the name became synonymous with gold.
