In the grand design of slavery in the Caribbean, White planters
separated African slaves of similar tribal and linguistic groups in
an effort to destroy African cultural traditions. The result was an
African population that lost most of its African heritage and
adopted a creolized variant of European culture. The dominance of
Creolization, a colonial legacy, ignores the Caribbean multiethnic
mosaic and endangers national unity, good governance, and political
stability. Through a series of readings, this book argues that the
Creolization is antithetical and challenging to nation building and
results in cultural and working-class fragmentation, competition
for national space, ranking, ethno-cultural categorization,
racialization of consciousness, cultural imperialism, use of the
'political' race card, and ethnic dominance. This book acknowledges
the need to create a framework for mutual cultural appreciation and
institutionalization of all cultures in the pursuit of national
unity in the Caribbean.
