I assure you guys that the document accessed through the link provided will shed light on the conversation that you guys are having --and more. Every aspect of Caribbean life can fit into its framework of analysis and synthesis.
It way to lengthy to post on here, at least all of it:
The taped interviews for that intellectual autobiography were made at Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1975. The dialogue closed on a note about the tendency towards imperial globalisation, a tendency that has intensified during the last twenty-five years. In certain contemporary situations, where ruptures such as slavery may not have been collectively absorbed, one of the consequences of imperial globalisation has been to effect a discontinuity between a people's
relationship with its surroundings (nature) and its accumulation of experience (culture). Through what means is the social memory of these nature/culture relations and of organising collective self- awareness, transmitted, despite ruptures like colonialism? Such questions, suggested by the current trend of globalisation, are important in relation to the formation of communities and to research into the continuity of popular opposition, together with the construction of a critical perspective from which to engage with the type of intellectual contributions discussed above. In the case of the diasporas that intersected in the Caribbean, it is also important to emphasise those occasions when the barriers to continuity and awareness have been spontaneously overcome.
