Hodge produced a clipping from a daily paper a few years ago in which several children had been asked if they were happy that corporal punishment in schools had been banned.

 Audience
The approach of authors such as Olaudah Equiano, C.L.R. James, Howard Zinn, Michelle Cliff, or Merle Hodge to his or her writing style is directly connected to his or her motives.
Hodge has benefitted from a foreign higher education as Cliff has, but while she returned to her homeland of Trinidad, Cliff lives in the United States.
As Hodge recognizes, "fiction validates reality," and this is why she feels that "fiction which affirms and validates our world is therefore an important weapon of resistance."8 By creating a body of Caribbean fiction, authors will also be creating a Caribbean culture.

 Colonial & Postcolonial Literary Dialogues: Text Page
Merle Hodge was born in Curupe, Trinidad, in 1944.
Hodge admits in an interview, "I've often thought of those child protagonists as symbols, as representative of the Caribbean culture in its infancy."8 If Tee is representative of Trinidad itself and its many allegiances and influences, then perhaps so.
In this essay, she acknowledges that "fiction has immense political power," and that it is often a "prime weapon of political conservatism."11 A brief essay on the purpose of Hodge's literature can be found on the Literary Style vs. Historical Accuracy theme page.

 Jamaica Kincaid, Merle Hodge, George Lamming. The Two Worlds of the Child
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.
In this novel Merle Hodge presents the process of alienation by depicting Tee's transition from a typical Antillean tradition to that of a pseudo-European culture.
Hodge presents such a situation when the children are made to recite The Lord's Prayer, which is beyond both their comprehension and vocabulary, generating nothing but an incoherent gibberish.

 Jamaica Gleaner News - Olive Senior: The Reluctant Interpreter - Wednesday | August 30, 2006
Hippolyte would go on to explore what it means to write against the grain while Hodge explored the quandary in which the writing of Caribbean Creoles currently muddles about.
Hodge noted that under the pen, attempts to spell Creole has often resulted in "overzealous deforming of English" which plays into the notion that Creole is "English with omissions." According to Hodge, spelling Creole using English becomes particularly problematic when writers try to spell sounds for which English makes no provisions.
Hodge also explained that though Creole managed to have got by so far with the multiplicity of spellings for some words, there is need for some form of standardisation to remove the sense that the Caribbean Creoles are "makeshift".

 Rev. Crick Crack, Monkey by Merle Hodge
A young Trinidadian girl finds herself experiencing ambivalence for her childhood, torn between her love for the strong yet impoverished Tantie and her fear of the materialist, native informing Aunt Beatrice.
Hodge's novel not only illustrates the class conflict Tee experiences when pulled between the rural Tantie and the upper middle-class Aunt Beatrice as Roy Narinesingh suggests in the introduction to the text; Tee also endures the domination of two competing women in a traditionally matriarchal culture.
Kincaid mentions Hodge's influence on her writing in at least two interviews, but the basis of Hodge works seems to have propelled Kincaid in plot.

 Clemente
A sophisticated writer, Hodge tempers her political activism with humor, generally through Tee's dumfounded reaction to what goes on.
We meet this remarkable woman only once in the narrative, but the profound impact on the retrospective author's part cannot be escaped, underlining the diachronic significance of the memory, which has a substance that flies in the face of the Great White Ancestor's faded photograph.
In this respect, Merle Hodge offers this novel as a political statement, for in her estimation, "there is no fundamental contradiction between art and activism.

The Africa she knows and the Africa Great Britain imagines clash in her mind, and it is not until her late adolescence and the arrival of her family and friends from Nigeria that she is able to arrive at a more secure and de-colonized self-image.
Although Hodge's protagonist does not leave the West Indies (Trinidad) until the very end of the novel, she experiences a similarly jarring psychological alienation.
Since the novels depict the indoctrination of children with a vested interest in resisting it, it should not be surprising that such indoctrination is equally successful with the British children of Yoruba Girl Dancing, who then, in turn, serve as agents of colonialism.
