rds a future that’s transnational and global. Conde stated “No intention of solving individually the problems of their specific countries.” I don’t agree with this statement because problematic countries will consume a lot of the other countries’ resources which will create even more problem for the resourceful country. For example, with the difficulties facing some African countries it would be hard to assist them. After encountering people of the same race from different countries, the statement “Negroes of all origin and nationalities with different customs and religious vaguely sense that they belong, in spite of everything, to a single and same race”. On the religious aspect of the quote, I would have to agree with Conde. For example, in a black society of different religions: Rastas, Adventists and Catholics. Rasta believes that eating meat is bad, most Catholics believes that meat is good, while the Adventists think that pork (meat) is bad. Can everybody exist as one and not exist as multitude in the same race? I think not and this will create a lot of indifferences and cause a division between the people of the same race.

 

In conclusion, the article, O Brave New World, has shown us that we still have a long way to go as “transnational of black culture” and with an ever changing world and each nation wanting to keep its own identity I think it would be difficult for any black nation to exist as one.

Derek Walcott portrays a view that suggests he accepts both side of his heritage and cannot let one fade and one prosper but give both balance because both are important to his life. Brathwaite had a different view that we should accept our Africanness and neglect the other half of our ancestors. Whereas Millette and Rohlehr believe that black people need to stand up and “drive its intellectual dynamic against the deepening pressure of this age of neo-colonialism” (Coombs,1974). Hodge, Thomas, Hodgson, Stewart, Edmondson all speak of striving for equality among all black people and most importantly to take pride in our “Africannes” of West Indian society.

 

In the “Is Massa Day Dead?” Brathwaite “bids us a journey into the past to find the African and Amerindian in us, for only then can we become ourselves and measure the rhythm of our own creativity” (Coombs,1974). Braithwaite’s views are that we should forget about the European that is in some of us, for example, Derek Walcott, “like the hal本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
