 | | Ensuring the Silence: The Effects of ‘Naming’ on the Caribbean Colonized | | by Kaz Silvestri, Sep 28, 2008 | | Naming becomes a powerful symbol for the colonial experience, one that the colonized people learn to use to their own benefit. The oppressed people give themselves secret names, strong and empowering names, and even fake names for protection. The act of naming becomes a means of control for the colonizers and a means of strength and defiance for the colonizers. All attempts at ensuring the silencing of a race failed in the end. They would be heard. Their names would be remembered. They would break the silence and the future would be theirs. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 1 |
