- Description
- Concert pianist and teacher Eulalie Domingo used in the two decades following the First World War The Daily Gleaner, Jamaica's leading newspaper, and Public Opinion, a weekly founded in 1937 which advocated self-government, to reflect on the condition of Afro-Jamaican women. Most of these women played an active role in organisations that sought to improve the lives of women of African descent in Jamaican society. This article is not concerned, however, with their activities to change their own lives and that of their less fortunate sisters, but with their discourses about the status of Afro-Jamaican women. It examines besides Eulalie Domingo's articles, writings by the poet, playwright, journalist, and broadcaster Una Marson: the teacher Amy Bailey: the working-class activist Adina Spencer: the teacher and politician Mary Morris-Knibb: the journalist Aimee Webster: and two anonymous authors. As Marson and Bailey were the most prolific writers, the article is mostly concerned with their views on the place and role of Afro-Jamaican women. This article will demonstrate that 'discourse' was as much part of the early Afro-Caribbean women's movement as 'activism' and suggests that one way scholars can usefully investigate early black feminist thought in the Caribbean is by exploring its contradictions.

- Description
- Una Marson’s work embodied anti-colonialism, anti-racism, feminism, class politics and pan-Africanism in the first half of the twentieth century. Her poetry and dramatic work symbolically ushered in a new era in Jamaica’s literary landscape and her efforts in championing early Jamaican literature, as well as her avid support for Caribbean writers in Britain and the region, made her a key proponent of the development of a national and West Indian literary canon. .She challenged racial inequality, affirmed standards of black beauty and black identity, and explored the complexities of gender, religious discrimination and class/economic exploitation. She did not frame her work around a single cause but, instead, she was mindful of the multiple intersections of oppression. Britain’s hold on Jamaica’s cultural imagination would finally be challenged by artists like Marson who were eager to free their nation of colonial authority and cultural dominance. In the end, through her advocacy and pioneering work, Marson achieved a voice for the oppressed.
