Strongly committed to the de-colonial cause, the poet explores the world of words, and the role language plays in the construction of identity as vehicle to the writing or silencing of culture. As a colonial subject himself, Brathwaite struggles to find his own voice in what he calls “Nation Language”, a form of expressing in English that recovers the sounds and rhythms of the submerged languages of native and transplanted peoples in the region. From this viewpoint, Brathwaite opens an interoceanic and intercultural dialogue with the imperial power. In his poem “Caliban” published in Islands, the second book on the trilogy The Arrivants (1973), the Barbadian re-signifies the character in Shakespeare’s The Tempest as a symbol of resistance empowered in Nation Language. It is of my interest to explore the construction of Caribbean identity, language and resistance proposed by the poet in the thematic line explored and the stylistic resources displayed in the poem. En 1930, cuando Lawson Edward nació en Bridgetown, Barbados, hubiese sido difícil imaginar que se convertiría en uno de los escritores más destacados del Caribe. Con conciencia crítica y fuertemente comprometido con la causa de-colonial, el poeta explora el mundo de las palabras y el rol que el lenguaje juega en la construcción identitaria en tanto vehículo para la escritura o silenciamiento de la cultura. Como sujeto colonial, Brathwaite lucha por encontrar su propia voz en lo que llama “Lenguaje Nación”, un inglés que recupera los sonidos y ritmos de las lenguas sumergidas de los pueblos originarios y los pueblos transplantados en la región. En esta clave, Brathwaite se dispone al diálogo interoceánico e intercultural con el poder imperial. De este modo, en su poema “Calibán” publicado en Islands el segundo libro dentro de la trilogía The Arrivants (1973), el barbadense resignifica el personaje de La Tempestad de Shakespeare en tanto símbolo de resistencia empoderado en su propio lenguaje nación. Es de mi interés explorar la construcción de identidad caribeña y el lenguaje y construcción de resistencia propuestos por el poeta tanto en la línea temática que explora como en los recursos estilísticos que emplea.
