Barbados - Arts and Literature
La Barbade a produit bon nombre de poétes et d’écrivains importants, parmi lesquels George Lamming, Edward Kamau Braithwaite, Bruce St John, Frank Collymore, Karl Sealy, John Wickham et Geoffrey Drayton. Deux écrivains bajans bien connus, Austin Clarke et Cecil Foster, vivent maintenant au Canada. Le premier roman de George Lamming, In the Castle of My Skin (en français, Âge et Innocence), en partie autobiographique, raconte l’histoire d’un garçon qui grandit dans la Barbade coloniale. Les écrits du poéte Braithwaite (Islands, Masks et Rights of Passage) témoignent également de la susceptibilité de la culture antillaise à l’influence coloniale. [fra]

Poetry News: Barbados Voices (Autumn 2003)
Barbados 1999. It’s 96°F in the shade and my knees are shaking. I’m at Gun Hill Station, St Phillips, a guest of Voices: Barbados Writers Collective. I am about to go on stage. Nerve-racking in itself, but Winston Farrell has just finished performing and the cries of “Yes man!” and “Lick them down!” are still resounding among the audience. He has left them heightened. The stamping of feet and clapping of hands pulse out over the countryside. Farrell is a multiple award winner. [eng]
