teacher meets her author-student
An elderly woman stunned guests
at the Annual Mothers’ Day and Arrival Day celebrations of the Zoomers’
Association of Trinidad and Tobago ( ZATTIC) in Mississauga on Sunday.
Dr Kris
Rampersad, a Trinidad-based journalist and author was speaking about her
efforts at ” developing literary and heritage sectors and creating
global connections with Caribbean groups” when the elderly woman stood up and
interrupted her.
“Excuse
me. I taught at St Julien Presbyterian School. I taught you at St Julien,” the
elderly woman said. She then walked up and embraced Dr Rampersad who exclaimed
in surprise: “Miss Olive. It is so good to see you!”
“I cannot
stay long. I left my family, my children and grandchildren to come here today
to see you. I am so proud of you, my darling,” the woman said to Dr
Rampersad.
“This is
the woman who taught me to read,” Dr Rampersad told the audience which
burst out in loud applause.
Olive
Sinanan, now 80 years old. lives in Toronto.
In her
address, Dr Rampersad explained how the early thirst for reading material which
was scarce when she was growing up in rural Trinidad has motivated much of her
actions even as a journalist, and later as a writer and as an educator.
Dr
Rampersad will be at Windies Restaurant in Scarborough on Sunday to discuss ”
cross cultural connections and opportunities for the creative sectors.

The
ecology, literature, culture, sustainable development and their convergence in
Caribbean fiction will feature at LiTTribute to LondonTTown to take place in
London on Monday (July 15).
The
symbolic and actual representations of nature in fiction from the section
NaTTurescapes in LiTTscapes – Landscapes of Fiction from Trinidad and Tobago by
Kris Rampersad will be among the highlights of the literary tribute that aims
at exploring new approaches to culture-centred development.
Among
those to participate in the LiTTribute will be Director of the Commonwealth
Foundation, Vijay Krishnarayan, the Trinidad-born former head of the Caribbean
Natural Resources Institute who has worked with civil society to devise actions
for sustainable development through land-use planning.
BBC World
Have Your Say Host, Ros Atkins and London-based Caribbean author, Lakshmi
Persaud will also present perspectives on cultural linkages across the
Atlantic.
High
Commissioner to the United Kingdom, His Excellency Garvin Nicholas views the
event as an important platform for highlighting the complex history and
fascinating social landscape of Trinidad and Tobago to a British audience and
notes that In ‘Littscapes’, Dr. Rampersad has brought to light Trinidad and
Tobago’s rich literary tradition and unique heritage. This”.
Said
Rampersad: “As has been the vision behind production of LiTTscapes, LiTTous and
LiTTributes, this will demonstrate the connectivities between and among what
may seem widely disparate subjects and disassociated development challenges.
These may be peculiar to our national communities but the also have resonance
internationally. This has been the thread that runs through our activities and
the book itself which explores the natural environment, peoples, lifestyles in
the context of fiction.
As has
been done in LiTTributes held earlier this year – to the Mainland in Guyana and
to the Antilles in Antigua – this will encourage rethinking how we
may better engage with and utilise the rich literary outpourings as represented
in LiTTscapes to develop synergies with the international community for social
and economic development in film, music, entertainment and education sectors.
Rampersad
who is a journalist and educator in Caribbean culture and heritage noted that
LiTTscapes represents this relationship from the earliest writings of Sir
Walter Raleigh to the current day among the 100-plus works by more than 60
writers, including those who made London their home such as Naipaul, Selvon,
Lakshmi Seetaram-Persaud and others. For invitations to
LiTTribute to LondonTTown email lolleaves@gmail.com.
LiTTscapes has been acclaimed as a groundbreaking
pictoral yet encyclopaedic compendium of the lifestyles, landscapes,
architecture, cultures, festivals and institutions in its full colour easy
reading documentary/travelogue/biography representation of Trinidad and Tobago
and its fiction as represented in more than 100 fictional works by some 60
writers.
LiTTribute to
LondonTTown follows
on the recent
LiTTribute to the Antilles staged in Antigua in March, LiTTurgy to the
Mainland in Guyana in February, and LiTTribute to the Republic of
Trinidad and Tobago, hosted by the First Lady of Trinidad and
Tobago, Dr Jean Ramjohn Richards and Dr Rampersad in September 2012. LiTTscapes was
launched at White Hall – one of Trinidad and Tobago’s Magnificent Seven
buildings as part of the islands 50thanniversary of independence in August 2012.
LiTTscapes is Rampersad’s third book and follows
Finding a Place and Through The Political Glass Ceiling; a fourth Letters to
Lizzie, an exploration of empire making and colonialism in the contexts of the
diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and the golden jubilee of Trinidad and
Tobago’s independence is to be released shortly.

Bullzoing
of Mayan temple condemned
It is only a matter of time
before the next bulldozer razes a next timeless heritage element in the region,
according to literary and cultural heritage educator and consultant Dr Kris
Rameprsad, calling on the region to reexamine its overall approaches to sustainable
development planning, budgeting and education and consciousness raising
programmes.
In her
blog, Demokrissy (http://kris-rampersad.blogspot.com),
Rampersad questions ‘who in the region can say it wouldn’t happen to us?’
She
states: “Bulldozing of the near 2300 year-old-Mayan Nohmul temple in Orange
Walk Belize is only symptomatic of the level of unchecked danger and threats to
significant heritage elements of the region and the degree of short sightedness
in our approach to sustainable development. She cited sites under developmental
pressure in Trinidad, Jamaica Blue Mountains, St Lucia Pitons and elsewhere in
the region.
“The
bulldozer mentality is symptomatic of pervading misperceptions that sustainability,
bio-cultural heritage conservation and development are
polar opposites. This promotes confrontational approaches at the
expense of exploration of very real modes by which the two can successfully and
peacefully co-exist to the benefit of populations. Our budget and economic,
social and environmental planning directorate and bureaucracies should take
note.”
She
stated that while given the ration of its population to size, Belize is perhaps
one of the least pressured countries of the region in terms of the intensity of
competition for land space for development, last week’s bulldozing is testimony
to some of the challenges for heritage preservation facing the region.
She noted
that it was appalling that this happened to a complex that was visible, not one
of the many overgrown Mayan complexes in Belize, and for use as – of all things
– gravel for a road.
“Proper
land use planning with concurrent resourcing, execution and implementation may
be one element of a solution, but without a focussed awareness building
and formal and informal education that inject heritage consciousness from the
cradle through adulthood, it is a tragedy that is certain to be
repeated,” she states.
She noted
that Mayas are still described and treated in the past tense in much of our
history and standard educational material – part of historic misrepresentations
of all the civilisations that comprise our region – although very vibrant Mayan
communities live across South/Central America and not unlike with other
regional ethnic groups, function in active regional diasporas across the globe,
and describe her own education and interactions with members of the Belize
community last year.
“The
bulldozer mentality will stay with us unless mechanisms are built into our
budgeting and physical and mental spatial development planning, as in all other
development plans so we present and project that physical, social and
educational planning not separate silos and never the twain shall meet, but as
a seamless and essentially integrated system that depend on and support each
other.”
To some
degree, Belize has legal and institutional mechanisms: an Act, laws, oversight
institutions which may be challenged by shortage of human resource and
other capacity, but those are also largely reactive mechanisms, as
important as they are, to net culprits after the fact of a bulldoze, for
example, rather than sustainable pre-emptive mechanisms which are where the
focus should be. If we cannot build consciousness and recognise the value these
elements of our heritage, hold to the sense of self and esteem that could
prevent the next trigger happy youngster from bulldozing his own life – value
beyond commercial value, beyond the next access road and the next high rise and
the next exploration for an oil well – which incidentally is another impending
threat to Belize where recent interests in exploitation for petroleum can become
the next international heritage disaster story.
Is that
being taken into account in the current land use planning for sustainable
development currently being undertaken in Trinidad and Tobago and other parts
of the region? Where are the efforts to factor and integrate
sustainable heritage consciousness into all of this, other than the flag
waving mentality? Where are the plans to factor in heritage in the planning for
sustainable development and the strategic educational interventions into that process
that move beyond a few Kodak advertising moments?
Lost,
surely in the cliched excuse about the jostle for space for industry and
agriculture and shelter in the name of development.
Development
does not have to be at the expense of heritage or vice versa. There are enough
successful models of this that can make us confident that we can find the right
balance between feeding ourselves, living with all the modern comforts that one
may desire and at the same time showing respect and pride in the legacy and inheritances
that are ours.
The
alternative is the next regional bulldozer story – while Belize becomes a
footnote, as McLoed house in South Trinidad already has – this is the potential
fate of other sites in the region; like the Banwari and other related sites
in Trinidad; or the Pitons in St Lucia or the maroon and other distinctive
heritage of Jamaica’s majestic Blue Mountains and others across the region can
soon become. Sustainable development requires sustainable planning and
sustainable education and awareness activities.
