Abstract:

This book explores the politics of ethnicity and nationalism in the Caribbean
from a critical discourse-analytical perspective. Focusing on political
communication in Trinidad and Tobago, it offers unique socio-political
insights into one of the most complex and diverse countries of the
Archipelago. Through a detailed reconstruction of Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s
2010 victorious run for office, this book offers ample empirical evidence of
the multimodal discursive strategies that held the key to the success of the
first woman PM candidate and her inter-ethnic coalition bid to overcome
political tribalism in the country. In parallel, it explores the implications
and challenges of the postcolonial Trinbagonian national project, caught
between pluralism and creolization. Through its innovative, context-dependent
and interdisciplinary CDS approach, this book breaks new ground in Caribbean
Studies while at the same time broadening the horizons of the Euro-American
tradition of Political Discourse Studies to address the complexities of global
postcoloniality.
