Tourism and Neo-Colonialism.

The 1960s and 70s were a revolutionary epoch for the “New World”, and during this time a number of Caribbean countries gained independence. Unfortunately many of these countries, specifically The Bahamas, have kept themselves yoked to imperialist ideology by the tourism industry.

“King” James, Oscar Grant & White Power.

I'm not an expert when it comes to sports. But I know this to be true. Every human has the right to make what s/he feels is the best decision for her/him. Last night when LeBron James decided that he would leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join the Miami Heat he did just that. And I commend him.

Bahamas Writers Summer Institute 2010.

BWSI is very much focused on writing as a socially engaged activity – that is, we believe that writers are not separate from our communities, and that as writers we can either perpetuate the stories that have oppressed us, or, we can speak back to those stories, interrogate them, and use our imaginations in the service of re-writing old stories, and writing new ones.

"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blow, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." – Frederick Douglass
