Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS ship merely to one of the descendants is, frankly, a form of intellectual cheating. I myself would argue, indeed, that the contemporary West English-speaking Indian societies can be far more meaningfully understood as offshoots of nineteenth century rather than of nineteenth Their England century Europe. middle class society, common inherited pattern is that of English Victorian Paris. A Trinidadian not the salons of Jefferson's Derek Walcott, poet-writer, has noted this recently in a mordant comment upon his own society as it stands after a decade of rule by the new modernizing elite the Bell volume so ardently he writes, "like the gossip columns, assure us admires. "The anthropologists", of assimilation, but most of our new solemnity is a subject for farce. We have We confront included, in our imitations, such dated prejudices as anti-semitism. each other with race-jokes to display our tolerance. The last excuse we offer, of course, is that there is no longer race prejudice, there is class prejudice. We imply by this that we are making progress, for if our concern is making money, then we have become crass and commercial, yes, but that makes us an urban and not a peasant culture.
