Data indicates that rates of obesity are high among Caribbean adolescent females compared to their male counterparts.1 Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) data revealed high reported rates of overweight female students in several Caribbean countries including The Bahamas (47.1%), Barbados (31.8%), Dominica (25.9%), Guyana (15.9%), Jamaica (28.2%), Saint Kitts and Nevis (32.5%), and Trinidad (34.1%).2 These patterns not only elucidate a trend in the prevalence of childhood obesity in the region, but also potential associated health risks. Self-perceptions of overweight body size may not only contribute to the rising obesity rate, but also influence whether weight reduction methods are sought to address this health concern. Yet, research on childhood obesity in the Caribbean rarely explores the relationship between self-perception and methods used for weight loss among adolescents. Self-perception is an important consideration for adolescent girls, as body image is a problem among this group.3 During adolescence, negative body perceptions occur at a time when youth are forming identity and developing self-image. While accurate measurements of body weight help achieve a healthy body size,4 they alone might not be sufficient for weight loss. In fact, weight perception is one of the motivating factors for weight control behaviours and is a better predictor than actual weight for adolescents to diet or exercise.5 For instance, as studies have shown, if adolescent girls are overweight/obese but do not perceive themselves to be, the likelihood of them engaging in weight-altering methods will be reduced, increasing the risk for comorbidity-","PeriodicalId":35039,"journal":{"name":"Caribbean Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47211830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lexicon labelling the sexual trauma placed upon children’s bodies and minds changes, unlike that of the current power struggles behind such trauma. Patriarchal and antiquated views of female bodies and female agency, allowing sexual abuse and the often-resulting victimisation to continue, must be challenged at all levels of society, individually, institutionally, and politically. I begin such a task by focusing on literature – specifically contemporary, newly emerging canonical literature for young adults that writes openly about the occurrence of child sexual abuse and the emotional and psychological damage caused by such abuse. Teenagers and young adults often encounter canonical literature through educational texts. Scholars’ examination of such texts can lead to interpersonal challenges to power systems. The Jamaican-Canadian author Nalo Hopkinson’s novel Midnight Robber (2000)1 prominently positions the conversation about the prevalence of child sexual abuse occurring in society, along with the way in which society often responds, and then provides another model of addressing child sexual abuse to support the transformation of victims into survivors. Midnight Robber, Hopkinson’s second novel, emphasises the Afro-Caribbean protagonist’s body movements through various spaces. Many scholars have discussed how Hopkinson depicts technology, globalisation, modernity, high/ low cyberpunk, and postcolonial cybernetics in her work of speculative fiction.2 A few scholars have combined race and bodies, such as Elizabeth Boyle3 and Erin M. Fehskens,4 or spatial issues of migration, slavery, and dystopian spaces, such as Giselle L. Anatol5 and Myriam Moïse.6 Very few scholars have made child sexual abuse their primary focus, although it occurs towards the middle of the novel, propelling the rest of the narrative. Regarding assault, Shelby Crosby discusses the re-victimisation of the protagonist, Tan-Tan Habib, through the disregard of communities, which mirrors the re-victimisation that occurred during slavery and colonialism.7 However, while Crosby focuses on the disruption","PeriodicalId":35039,"journal":{"name":"Caribbean Quarterly","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49140533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
