Myal written by Erna Brodber and has been published by Waveland Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014-08-08 with Fiction categories.
Jamaican-born novelist and sociologist Erna Brodber describes Myal as “an exploration of the links between the way of life forged by the people of two points of the black diaspora—the Afro-Americans and the Afro-Jamaicans.” Operating on many literary levels—thematically, linguistically, stylistically—it is the story of women’s cultural and spiritual struggle in colonial Jamaica. The novel opens at the beginning of the 20th century with a community gathering to heal the mysterious illness of a young woman, Ella, who has returned to Jamaica after an unsuccessful marriage abroad. The Afro-Jamaican religion myal, which asserts that good has the power to conquer all, is invoked to heal Ella, who has been left "zombified” and devoid of any black soul. Ella, who is light skinned enough to pass for white, has suffered a breakdown after her white American husband produced a black-face minstrel show based on the stories of her village and childhood. This cultural appropriation is one of a series Ella encountered in her life, and parallels the ongoing theft of the labor and culture of colonized peoples for imperial gain and pleasure. The novel‘s rich, vivid language and vital characters earned it the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Canada and the Caribbean. The novel links nicely with Brodber’s coming-of-age story, Jane & Louisa Will Soon Come Home, also from Waveland Press, for its similar images, themes, and specific Jamaican cultural references to colonialism, religion, slavery, gender, and identity. Both novels are Brodber’s way of telling stories outside of published history to point out the whitewashing and distortion of black history through religion and colonialism.

One of the most acclaimed novelists in the Caribbean, Erna Brodber tells us in this history about the everyday life of African-Jamaicans born at the turn of the 20th century, the second generation of freemen in Jamaica and the first to be born free. Both eloquent and intimate, the book is based largely upon a series of 90 rare and detailed interviews Brodber conducted with people who lived in Jamaica from around 1900 to the 1970s, and it reveals their aspirations, struggles, defeats, and victories from childhood on. Brodber focuses on their family lives--often marked by separations--and on their opportunities for education, travel, courtship, and religious practice. Her interviews expose the limited employment options of black Jamaicans in the early 20th century and document their political situation and their long road to suffrage, finally granted in 1944. Brodber also records how they were affected both by man-made disasters, such as the World Wars, and by natural ones, including several hurricanes. Their stories reveal the problem-solving devices they inherited from their ancestors and also the existence of "ancestral anger," an emotion and attitude that finds expression in contemporary Jamaican society. The testimonies are placed in the wider context of British colonial policy and the political economy of the island and bring to life the people who often figured only as statistics in censuses and colonial governors' dispatches. Using oral accounts and archival sources in Jamaica and Great Britain, the work offers a "bottom up" view of Jamaican society, a corrective to much of the past historiography that has been limited by the "great man" approach to scholarship. With its colorful accounts of tea meetings and marches and its recital of rhymes, songs, and proverbs, the book also offers a treasury of folk materials. In language that will engage the general reader, this talented writer presents a new perspective on the impact of slavery in Jamaica; it also will be valuable to historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists.

Land of My Birth puts the spotlight on the origins and consequences of Jamaica's fight for Independence. The author writes from a strategic vantage point within the country's first viable political party, the party that put Independence firmly and irrevocably on the country's agenda: the People's National Party.While its focus is on the party in the four decades that straddle this Caribbean Island's political independence from Britain in 1962, the narrative sketches a panoramic context that takes in the island as a whole -- stretching from the post-slavery years of the late nineteenth century to the new horizons of the twenty-first, with its new challenges and opportunities.This is a story of a yet uncompleted odyssey in pursuit of a national vision: one filled with ups and downs, exhilaration and frustration, remarkable people and surprising events.In this little book, new information is brought to light and new light is shone on old information; the often surprising ordering of the information and the descriptive chapter headings present a graphic guide through the early history of the People's National Party and of Jamaica in the mid-20th Century.Particularly enlightening is the story of the party's first seventeen years of existence when it tried without success to win political office. This stage of its journey illuminates the party's struggles, the obstacles it had to face, its setbacks and successes: giving insight and analysis to the inner ideological conflicts, personality differences and divisions, and the mediatory and cementing role of "The Three" -- Norman Manley, Noel Nethersole and Vernon Arnett -- during that early period. Here we find incontrovertible evidence that Norman Washington Manley, while not the founder, was indeed "The Father of the People's National Party."The book Land of My Birth speaks to- the foundation of the People's National Party;- its seventeen years preparing for political office;- its internal struggles, including the expulsion of the 4Hs in 1952;- the party's eventual conquest of political office in 1955;- its decisive and traumatic role in the rise and fall of the West Indies Federation;- the election of Michael Manley;- and those critical years from 1974 when it not only reaffirmed but made valiant efforts to implement its democratic socialist vision.In the process of encapsulating The First Forty Years of the PNP, the book celebrates, contemplates and re-imagines Jamaica, Land of My Birth. It gives more than just a valuable insight into the People's National Party; it oversteps its stated boundary and uncovers important aspects of the history of the Jamaican people.The general public, Caribbean scholars, as well as anyone interested in what has made Jamaica what it is and what can make it what it should be can find something of interest in this book.
