초록
The year 1970 was an very important marker for the Caribbean woman's bildungsroman. That year Trinidadian novelist Merle Hodge published her first novel, Crick Crack, Monkey, a novel which described issues not examined in prior novels by previous male writers. Hodge is the first black Caribbean woman to explore such issues as extensions of the meaning of family and mothering, orphaned children, charm of folk culture and folk tale, economic class consciousness, various educational systems, the Black girl's relationship to the community. Therefore, this essay explores the heroine's development, coming of age in Crick Crack, Monkey. Hodge regards the Black heroine, Tee as a neophyte with potential to try to construct the new Caribbean identity in opposing two cultures: one is Trinidadian Creole culture represented by Ma and Aunt Tantie; the other is British bourgeois educational and post/colonial culture represented by teachers and Aunt Beatrice. When Tee realizes that she cannot accept both Tantie's world and Beatrice's one, she determines to leave her island for Britain to join her father. Hodge shows that the Black girl, Tee takes her first step towards boldly accepting her own Black Caribbean woman identity through confrontation and conflict between the two cultures.
Abstract
The year 1970 was an very important marker for the Caribbean woman's bildungsroman. That year Trinidadian novelist Merle Hodge published her first novel, Crick Crack, Monkey, a novel which described issues not examined in prior novels by previous male writers. Hodge is the first black Caribbean woman to explore such issues as extensions of the meaning of family and mothering, orphaned children, charm of folk culture and folk tale, economic class consciousness, various educational systems, the Black girl's relationship to the community. Therefore, this essay explores the heroine's development, coming of age in Crick Crack, Monkey. Hodge regards the Black heroine, Tee as a neophyte with potential to try to construct the new Caribbean identity in opposing two cultures: one is Trinidadian Creole culture represented by Ma and Aunt Tantie; the other is British bourgeois educational and post/colonial culture represented by teachers and Aunt Beatrice. When Tee realizes that she cannot accept both Tantie's world and Beatrice's one, she determines to leave her island for Britain to join her father. Hodge shows that the Black girl, Tee takes her first step towards boldly accepting her own Black Caribbean woman identity through confrontation and conflict between the two cultures.
