If you’re likely to be subjected to somebody asking when you’ll be giving them grandchildren this Christmas, Guadalupe Nettel’s Still Born, translated by Rosalind Harvey, is for you. It’s this odd kind of unwinnable dynamic, where they want you to have pride in your Jamaican heritage, but they also want to be the ones who are safeguarding Jamaican heritage from you.” In an interview with The New York Times, Escoffery spoke of the contradictions of his parents’ generation – “Simultaneously wanting you to be Jamaican and also telling you you’re not Jamaican. Flitting between perspectives, the stories in If I Survive You make up a fascinating study of ‘identity’ both as it’s constructed and enforced in wider society, and within the family itself.Įscoffery is particularly good on the gulf that can emerge between generations split across cultures what it means to be the one who ‘assimilates’, and the gatekeeping that can play out on both sides. Perched between short story collection and novel, If I Survive You centres around a Jamaican family who, like Escoffery’s own family, relocate to Miami in the mid-1970s. There is a lot of early hype around Jonathan Escoffery’s debut, already published in the US and out in the UK in early January, and with good reason. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Ramona by Helen Hunt JacksonVarious portions of the novel were drawn from her visits to California Indian reservations, missions and ranchos. The setting and characters in Jackson’s book appear to be composites drawn from places Jackson visited and people she met in her travels throughout Southern California during the early 1880s. Ramona inspired four motion pictures and a pageant performed annually in Hemet, California, since 1923. Disappointed that A Century of Dishonor, her earlier book reciting past injustices towards the Indians, received so little notice, she wrote Ramona hoping to elicit popular support for the Indians, much as her acquaintance Harriet Beecher Stowe had done with Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Although Rancho Camulos became well known among Californians for the accomplishments of three generations of del Valles in both the political and agricultural history of the state, it is best recognized as the “Home of Ramona.” When Helen Hunt Jackson published her best-selling novel Ramona in 1884, it was her intention to supply the general reader with an appreciation of the California Indians’ plight as illustrated by the trials and tribulations of the fictional Indian girl, Ramona. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Our Nig by Harriet E. WilsonGates sees it as a mix of the “sentimental novel” and “slave narrative.” The protagonist, a child named Frado, is the daughter of a white woman and a black man. As novels go, “Our Nig” is a bit unorthodox. Scholars have debated whether it should properly be called a novel at all since it seems to be quite clearly the story of Harriet Wilson herself. Gates in his introduction refers to “Our Nig” as an autobiographical novel. That alone would make it worth the read, but further historical research on Harriet Wilson reveals that the story behind the publication of the novel is every bit as interesting and revelatory about racism in the United States as Wilson’s story itself. Thus, “Our Nig” is the first novel published by an African American and the first by an African American woman in the US. Previously, it had been assumed that the story was written by a white woman but after poring over historical documents and putting the pieces together, Gates found evidence that Harriet Wilson, who had lived in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, was an impoverished African American woman who published her own novel as a way to support herself and her child. In the early 1980s, the eminent scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., established that the 1859 novel entitled “Our Nig” was in fact written by an African American woman named Harriet E.

Scientists still don’t completely understand their incredibly sophisticated navigation and communication abilities, or their immensely complicated brains. In recent decades, we have learned that dolphins recognize themselves in reflections, count, grieve, adorn themselves, feel despondent, rescue one another (and humans), deduce, infer, seduce, form cliques, throw tantrums, and call themselves by name. Since the dawn of recorded history, humans have felt a kinship with the sleek and beautiful dolphin, an animal whose playfulness, sociability, and intelligence seem like an aquatic mirror of mankind. From Susan Casey, the New York Times bestselling author of The Wave and The Devil’s Teeth, a breathtaking journey through the extraordinary world of dolphins |
