discovering new archives" tenue à l'University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaïque,
en 2019. - Includes bibliographical references and index
"Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the 'caribbeanization' of archives in the
region, considering what those archives could include in the future and exploring
the potential for new records in new formats. Interpreting records in the broadest
sense, the 15 essays in this volume explore a wide variety of records that represent
new archival interpretations. The book is split into two parts, with the first section
focusing on record forms that are not generally considered 'archival' in traditional
Western practice. The second section explores more 'traditional' archival collections
and demonstrates how these collections are analyzed and presented from the perspective
of Caribbean peoples. As a whole, the volume suggests how colonial records can be
repurposed to surface Caribbean narratives. Reflecting on the unique challenges faced
by developing countries as they approach their archives, the volume considers how
to identify and archive records in the forms and formats that reflect the post-colonial
and decolonized Caribbean; how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary
society and reflects Caribbean memory; and how to repurpose the colonial archives
so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming its history. Archiving Caribbean Identity
demonstrates how non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how
folk-centered perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of records. The book
should thus be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of archives,
memory, culture, history, sociology, and the colonial and post-colonial experience"
