Gilbert was called the storm of the century as it set records for size, amount of rainfall, atmospheric pressure, track, and total energy.1 Forty-five people were killed in Jamaica and the island suffered widespread infrastructural damage (75 percent of housing stock was damaged),2 and significant loss of crops and livestock.3 It took Jamaica over six months to move everyone out of shelters and into new houses.4 By December 1988, tourist resorts were once again open to the public5 as the island saw the end of the emergency response period, and the beginning of a lengthy process of economic and social recovery. From September 1988 onwards, a number of texts were produced to narrate the story of Gilbert’s landing and the destruction the storm caused on the island. There were two types of texts: those representing the state’s view of the hurricane and its aftermath (statements by officials and government reports), and those representing the public’s view of Gilbert (witnesses’ testimonials, artistic works reflecting public sentiment, and so on). We will examine how Hurricane Gilbert was described in the two types of texts. We will begin with the statements by government officials and newspaper coverage of the effects the hurricane had on the island immediately after the landfall, and within the first three months of the aftermath. The texts used for this purpose come from a compilation of newspaper reports and statements by government officials.6 We will then proceed to the analysis of two songs written shortly after the hurricane: “Wild Gilbert” by Lloyd Lovindeer7 and “Gilbert Attack Us” by Banana Man.8 We aim to determine whether the way these songs depict Gilbert is similar to that presented in the state texts or whether there are significant","PeriodicalId":35039,"journal":{"name":"Caribbean Quarterly","volume":"68 1","pages":"44 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44250291","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}

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":"68 1","pages":"90 - 104"},"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":"67 1","pages":"411 - 426"},"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}
