adisa andwele (26 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Writing from Barbados, which used to see itself as an English county (Bimshire), Adisa Andwele's collection sets out to uncover and celebrate a past whose links with Africa survive in the folkways of country people, with a history of resistance and cultural creation, and its own heroes such as Bussa, Nannie Grigg and Clement Payne. But it is a past which is in danger of obliteration by the new forces of global/Americanised culture and Adisa's poems have an urgency which is felt in their rhythms and striking images. This is a Barbadian collection to the core, a celebration of Barbadian nation-language, the rhythms of its music and its distinctive African-derived culture. Whilst readers have begun to be familiar with the nation-language poetry and reggae/calypso cultures of Jamaica and Trinidad, the cultural grass-roots of Barbados have received little exposure. Adisa Andwele's book changes that. Antiquity will be a significant addition to poetry courses that look at oral/performance/dub poetry. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Adisa Jelani Andwele is AJA, one of the leading performance poets in the Caribbean. An outstanding jazz trombonist, with his six-piece band, Fuzion, Adisa puts his poetry to a lively, uplifting, musical backdrop of Caribbean rhythms and jazz, stirring up a storm with his conscious poetry and his pioneering musical styles of 'Saf' and 'Ringbang'.

But if Antiquity celebrates the survival of this heritage, despite the efforts of Barbados' former colonial and neocolonial rulers to bury or ignore it, it also warns, in urgent rhythms and striking images, of its threatened obliteration by the new forces of global/Americanised culture.Antiquity has two sections: 'Words', which brings together poems written over the past twenty years, and 'Chants', which includes the songs AJA has been performing to enthusiastic audiences across the Caribbean, North America, Europe and South Africa. These are poems and songs of a radical Black consciousness, Barbadian to the core, but reaching out to chant down injustice and economic oppression wherever they exist.Whilst readers have begun to be familiar with the reggae influenced nation-language poetry of Jamaica or the calypso influenced poetry of Trinidad, the cultural grass-roots of Barbados have received little exposure.

This, his third publication, won him the Author of the Year award; he was also Hackney Poet Laureate. Fine in illustrated wrappers.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Painting Poetry is an anthology of poetic interpretations of art presenting thirty poems written by Adisa 'AJA' Andwele and images of paintings by seventeen artists. The artists are Ras Akyem, Ras Ishi, Ras Jahaziel, Omowale Stewart, Corrie Scott, Heather-Dawn Scott, Pierre Nigel and Jadisa Andwele from Barbados; the late Andre Normil and Frantz Zephirin from Haiti; the late Romare Bearden, Alaiyo Bradshaw and Chrissie Dowler from the USA; and from Cuba, the late Wifredo Lam, Omar Estrada, Annie Maxwell and Jesus Gastell Soto. The poetry and paintings cover themes related to the Caribbean's multicultural history, including the survival of African culture-its social, cultural, and religious practices in the Americas as well as nature, abstract forms, and social interactions within urban landscape. Painting Poetry symbolizes a journey along two paths-two different physical creative dimensions-but within the experiences is a common destination as the paths lead to the same space.'.
