This is my favourite poem in the anthology but I find it funny how they include this poem that talks about how Eurocentric and whitewashed history is in British and colonised places, yet there are only two authors in the power&conflict cluster who are POC.
@cleidejanes8086
@cleidejanes8086 2 года назад
yes and 'coincidentally' both of their poems are about societal issues and have links to racism because thats what the token POC's are most useful for
@IDidNotCommitWarCrimesInSerbia
immigrant student here. I don't quite understand why people are angry about not much POC poets being in the poetry but UK is a majority white country we immigrants accept this before we move to this country. We don't care about more POC and more education about different cultures. Focus on the majority.

Also, the use of phonetic spelling and lack of punctuation is very informal and informal language is normally used in places such as home. So, this suggests that Agard is finding comfort and he feels at home when finding out about his own history and identity.

Emmanuel Arowolo Very good perspective. As well as this, the use of Black historical figures, such as nanny Demaroon, suggests that Agard is trying to replicate and enforce his history into British literature much like the British did in Guyana. Perhaps indicating a gain of power and control over his own future, not just history. This would be supported, as the verb “carving” suggests it is being made (present tense)

Hi, could I suggest that the use of enjambment in mentioning Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole shows that, though they both did very similar things in the same war, Mary is overlooked and they are segregated in history (represented by the mention of Robin Hood and King Cole in between them) because of their races? Agard seems to belittle Nightingale in his reference to her mere 'lamp' and Seacole's 'healing star', perhaps overlooking Nightingale as Seacole was overlooked in his education. It seems like he's trying to redress the balance between black and white achievements, perhaps offering white European readers food for thought - would this be right? Sorry if this is mentioned later in the video! :)

To help you get through everything, I would suggest increasing the playback speed so you can still understand what he is saying (I watch it on 1.75) and pause to make notes. This helps me finish quickly and efficiently and I understand it at the same time. Additionally, where the like button is, look at the right and you see three dots. Click on that and it will show open transcript this helps you see EVERYTHING he is saying. Let me know if this helps

Just a random thought, the way the stanza is written at 7:12 look at how the white people are on top and the black people are on the bottom. For example 'Lord Nelson' is on top and at the bottom is 'Shake de great Zulu' it probably shows white supremacy which can tie in to conflict between ethnicity.

I had been thinking the same! Black history is placed, not only below white history, but also below white myth and legend - it is as if to the Eurocentric view of history, their fictional legends and nursery rhymes are more important than black history that actually occurred. He has used his structure to demonstrate the cultural oppression visually.

In each stanza, the white figures are mentioned before the black ones - they come on a line that is physically above the lines containing the minorities. This could create the impression that they are seen as metaphorically above the black people, reflecting the public's view of them, in that they find the history of the white people to be more important. Although they are on different 'levels', the enjambment puts the figures of both ethnicities in the same sentence. This implies that Agard believes they should be equal, and so their history should betaught along with that of white people.
@jamietoeg4905
@jamietoeg4905 6 лет назад
We instantly recognise names such as Dick Whitington and 1066 but fail to recognise some of the prominent black figures such as Nanny De Maroon. This could be a moment of realisation for the reader as they understand that in todays society, the education system is flawed and how we know so much about white history but so little about black history. This reinforces the idea that the poem can be read as a criticism about how education can limit and control your identity. This idea is further enforced by the division of 2 groups in the poem. there is a stark Contrast between "dem" and "me". The reppetition of these words could emphasise the contrast between the people at the top who control those at the bottom. (link to charge of the light brigade and how the cavalry controlled the foot soldiers)

using the fictional characters in the poem could be suggesting that euro centric history is the same to him as fairytales, but im not sure if that fits in with the interpretation of the enjambment as suggesting that black and white people should be equal. my interpretation was that he's criticising how we are quicker to teach kids about fairytales than real people as soon as a non-white person is relevant

I think that the way he phrases 'Bandage up me eye' gives the impression that his identity was blanketed over to avoid inevitable conflict, almost like a mother would stop a baby crying by feeding it, giving the sense that his culture and history has been undermined and 'suffocated'.

Can we say The italicized verses lack punctuation. As readers, we are confused about how to read it. Agard links this confusion to his confusion after reading that history textbook which triggered him to write this poem. He is confused as to why everything historic is so Eurocentric.

When discussing the context of this poem, could I mention that when John Agard does a reading of the poem, he sings the lines that are about English history to emphasise them, or would that not be relevant?

mr bruff can i say this for structure please reply gcses are soon. The enjambment "dem tell me bout columbus and 1492 but what happens to de caribs and de arawaks does highlight that the author does want to combine the white and black historical figures together as one, this has been done deliberately to make it evident of that is intentions are to promote equality. The declarative sentence may also, enforce that the poet was never introduced to the truth and that the use of the enjambment all the way throughout this power, clearly reinforces, that we should all unite (black/white/brown) as we are stronger together, blake is mostly directing this poem to the black audience as their views are supressed - "dem tell me" - enforcing that the white british monarchy are inflicting propaganda and will exploit you through education, the author encounters this exploitation of education by in fact educating us as readers to analyse and "carve" meanings and interpretations. As well as this, the enjambment may also intertwine with resilience and that that finding these hidden meanings will be vital to make change come around. However, the enjambment may also connote the severe suffering of the black people, as they are exploited endlessly like the enjambment, Which does contrast with the combination of the white and black figures being together.

@ellenloft8676
@ellenloft8676 6 лет назад
Could you say that the use of shorter lines in the verses about black history illustrate the fact he hasn't been taught anything about them, so he has very limited knowledge so can only use a few words to describe their actions and personalities?
