KAISO! de anti-master narrative ca’naval series

for the rest of the 2011 trinidad & tobago ca'naval season i’ll be posting quotes from the book Rituals of Power & Rebellion by noted calypsonian Hollis "Chalkdust" Liverpool. the main purpose is to share the story of the forgotten/unknown african contributions to t&t carnival. a visual narrative will be provided by Studio Lafoncette Photography: Blogging de Carnival. hope you enjoy! and just so you know where i'm coming from here are my "guidelines":

master narrative: an abstract idea that is thought to be a comprehensive explanation of historical experience or knowledge. 

THIS IS THE STORY THE SLAVE MASTERS TELL*

anti:  meaning against, opposite, instead of 

THIS IS THE STORY THE ENSLAVED PEOPLE TELL

*fay-ann is here to help MASH UP these stories.
