Question

Write a note on the oral rhythms employed by kamau brathwaite in his poem "wings of a dove".

Answer 1

Answer:here is your answer

Explanation:

Barbados, the island where Brathwaite was born in 1930, is the most easterly of the

Caribbean island chain and is located some eighty miles out from that chain, alone in

the Atlantic. It had been deserted by indigenous Carib Indians by the time the

English arrived in 1625. The first African slaves were brought to it in 1627. Because

the island is relatively small and its open terrain allows access to all parts of the

country it had been assumed that the slaves were completely engulfed by the

doqinant European culture and lost all traces of their African past. Brathwaite

comments on this assumption in the preface to Mother Poern. Barbados is the "most

English of West Indian islands but at the same time nearest, as the slaves fly, to

Africa. Hence the Protestant Pentecostalism of its language, interleaved with

Catholic bells and kumina." Kumina is a ritual ceremony of singing, drumming,

dancing and spirit-possession brought over from Africa to the New World by the

slaves. Its prevalence attests to the continuance and resilience of African culture in

Barbados. Racially the island is one of the most demographically homogeneous

territories in the Caribbean, with more than ninety per cent people of Afilcan descent

and the rest of European or non-African mixed ancestry.
