*The lush land belongs to all, just like the sun and water. The people live in a golden age and do not surround themselves with ditches, walls or hedges.

* Pietro Martire d’Anghiera, 1500

*before

*The people are stronger and better fed than we are. They are well cared for and very clean and in this way they seem to me rather like birds. Their bodies are so plump and so beautiful that they could not be more so.

* Pero Vaz Caminha in a letter to Portugese King Manoel I, 1500

*before

*They exist on a succulent diet of exotic fruits, herbs, game and an infinity of fish: crabs, oysters, lobsters, crayfish, and many other things which the sea produces. This is a delightful land with brightly colored birds, evergreen trees that yield the sweetest aromatic perfumes, and an infinite variety of fruit. I fancied myself to be near the terrestrial paradise.

* Amerigo Vespcci in a letter to Prince de Medici, 1503

*after

*Today the Northeastern region of Brazil is one of the poorest areas in the world. Scenes of hunger, disease, and child death are commonplace. Two-thirds of all rural children suffer stunted growth from inadequate food. Hunger has made the people lean, nervous, and desperate. The Brazilian press refers to the region as “The Valley of Death.” The country’s rivers are “spoiled, brackish, salty, putrid, and contaminated by pollutants.” Their fish are gone. Children search through piles of garbage for food. Every four minutes two children less than a year old die in Brazil from starvation and disease.

* Nancy Scheper-Hughes, early 1900s

GreeterSWBAT analyze the role of and impact on the narrator by colonialism in Jamaica Kincaid’s “A Small Place.”

HWFinish CW 94

Big IdeaIt’s not necessary for one country to “own” another country for it have the impact of colonialism. Sometimes a country has this effect just through the power it has over another country.

CRS

REL 602 – Understand the dynamics between people, ideas, and so on in

more challenging passages.

*Travel Blog Presentations!

*A Small Place

*The story is written from the point of view of a Third World person speaking to a First World person. A woman from the Caribbean island of Antigua speaks to the British in particular, but to all colonizing powers in general.

*T-P-S: Have you ever been in a situation where you thought of the perfect response to an argument after the argument had already ended?

*Independently..

*Now that you’re familiar with the story, read through the text independently, but this time I want you to highlight or underline 5 – 7 words or short phrases that you think are the most important parts of the text.

*Text Rendering

*We’re going to do an exercise to dig a little further into the writing. When we start, we’ll take turns speaking out one of the phrases we underlined. You don’t need to go around the room and ‘wait your turn’ – simply speak when it seems right. You can speak different phrases each time, or repeat the same one. You can say the same thing that someone else said. There’s no right or wrong way. But it’s important that no one say anything else while we’re doing this.

*Discussion Questions

*What is Kincaid angry about?

*Is her anger justified?

*How does she say that people of her country were changed by colonialism? By neo-colonialism (control by powerful Western countries without outright ownership)? Why does she think it would be better to have come from people who lived in trees than to be “what I became after I met you?”

*“People like me cannot be objective, we make everything so personal,” Kincaid says ironically. What is she saying about objectivity? Do you agree?

*Shout-Outs; Final Thoughts

*Don’t forget that you have a quiz tomorrow!
