A question of belonging : imagining the Chinese in the British West Indies
No full textThis study examines what effect the presence of the Chinese in the West
Indies had on understandings of belonging in terms of nation. It examines the
construction of the category "Chinese" across different modes, particularly literary
texts, from the nineteenth century to the present, and from the positions of colonial,
creole and Chinese spaces. The results of this research challenge the common view
that the Chinese have had a marginal impact on the perception of nationhood in the
West Indies. Instead, images of the Chinese were, and continue to be, a key means of
exploring the ambiguities, potentialities and limitations of nation as it developed in
the West Indies. In particular, they reveal that neither "nation" nor "belonging" are
static positions; rather, they signify continuing renegotiations of power relationships
and cultural identities.
Several factors impact on representations of the Chinese. In the nineteenth
century, such images were molded by the specific aims of colonial enterprises,
entangled at the intersection of the discursive constructs of "East" and "West" during
a period of mass migrations and the peculiar tensions of post-emancipation West
Indian societies. In the twentieth century, "the Chinese" have been created in response
to a need to assert ownership of what was once colonised space and to perform nation
before a global audience. Of late, Chinese West Indians have taken a more visibly
active role in the construction and dissemination of images of themselves and their
communities. In the process they have sometimes radically redefined the imaginative
nation space of the West Indies and, in the process, challenge established boundaries
of belonging, and contest "belonging" itself
