520 8 The African-Jamaican Aesthetic' explores the ways in which
diasporic African-Jamaican writers employ cultural
referents aesthetically in their literary works to
challenge dominant European literary discourses;
articulate concerns about racialization and belonging; and
preserve and enact cultural continuities in their new
environment(s). The creative works considered provide
insight into how local and indigenous Caribbean knowledges
are both changed by the transfer to new, diasporic locales
and reflect a unified consciousness of African-Jamaican
roots and culture. The works surveyed also reveal
significant connections with a?past? Africa. Indeed,
Africa is treated as a central source of aesthetic
influence in these writers? expression of local cultures
and indigenous knowledges. Aspects covered include
language (Jamaican Patwa), religion, folklore, music, and
dance to identify the continuities in an African-Jamaican
aesthetic, which is understood here as an ongoing dialogue
of cultural memory between the Caribbean, Africa, and
diasporic spaces.
