Comedy following the Jones brothers, celebrity Harry (Michael
Sheen) and lawyer Ben (Jason Hughes). Harry takes Ben to Donegal -
the place they last vacationed together, back when they were young
and happy - for Ben's stag night. While there, however, the
discovery of an old flame (Angeline Ball) leads them both into a
world of trouble.
Throughout this book, Kevin Meehan offers historical and
theoretical readings of Caribbean and African American interaction
from the 1700s to the present. By analyzing travel narratives,
histories, creative collaborations, and political exchanges, he
traces the development of African American/Caribbean dialogue
through the lives and works of four key individuals:
historian/archivist Arthur Schomburg, writer/anthropologist Zora
Neale Hurston, jazz poet Jayne Cortez, and theologian/politician
Jean-Bertrand Aristide. People Get Ready examines how these
influential figures have reevaluated popular culture, revised the
relationship between intellectuals and everyday people, and
transformed practices ranging from librarianship and anthropology
to poetry and broadcast journalism. This discourse, Meehan notes,
is not free of contradictions, and misunderstandings arise on both
sides. In addition to noting dialogues of unity, People Get Ready
focuses on instances of intellectual elitism, sexism, color
prejudice, imperialism, national chauvinism, and other forms of
mutual disdain that continue to limit African American and
Caribbean solidarity.
