Today, we’re sharing excerpts from another 2010 essay by Andaiye in “The Point is to Change the World” — titled, “Housewives and other Carers in the Guyanese Resistance of the Late 1970s and Early 1980s: Looking Back” 🇬🇾✊🏾🧵

Text:
HOUSEWIVES AND OTHER CARERS IN THE GUYANESE RESISTANCE of the Late 1970s and Early 1980s: Looking Back

In the 1979 civil rebellion, women were central to organizing actions from within the center, and a few were directly involved in what
Rupert Roopnaraine has called the effort to create an insurrectionary movement.

Visual Description: The text, “HOUSEWIVES AND OTHER CARERS IN THE GUYANESE RESISTANCE of the Late 1970s and Early 1980s: Looking Back,” is bolded and coloured deep yellow. Meanwhile, the rest of the text is black, and everything rests against a maroon red background with a slight gradient. A photo of Andaiye sits in the left hand corner of this image. She an older black woman with short hair. She is wearing a white shirt, smiling brightly, and she is surrounded yellow and white flowers and deep green leaves.

🤔💭 Did you know that Sylvia Wynter was not only a literary and cultural theorist and philosopher, but also a playwright, actress, and a novelist?

Text:
They bowed their heads. The instinct for survival was as strong in them as in their slave ancestors. Some weight of memory in their blood carried the ghosts of dark millions who had perished, coffined in the holds of ships, so that some could live to breed more slaves; and they, after their freedom had been won, survived the rootless years. They survived the loss of gods and devils that were their own, of familiar trees and hills and huts and spears and cooking pots, of their own land in which to see some image of themselves
- SYLVIA WYNTER, The Hills of Hebron

Written by Tim Hector, Antigua and Barbuda with insights from Eusi Kwayana, Guyana

Today, sharing we’re sharing a quote on the practice of obeah from Dr. Natasha Lightfoot’s book, “Troubling Freedom” 🧵🌿

Text:
Obeah flourished in black communities throughout the British West Indian colonies, in spite of the fact that it was illegal and was often decried as witchcraft. The persistence of obeah today in the English-speaking Caribbean illuminates the multilayered power relations underlying the last five centuries of the region’s history. Obeah informed criminalization and punishment, cultural production and representation, and community formation and stratification.
