Re‐dyeing the cloth: The women's political platform and Trinidad and Tobago's general election of 1995
This paper explores the relationship among political action, gender identities, and the post‐colonial nation‐building project in Trinidad and Tobago. Specifically, it discusses the role of the Women's Political Platform during the 1995 General Elections. It shows how this gender‐specific group's focus on issues re‐framed the historical relationship between ethnicity and politics in this setting. Finally, it suggests why women in Trinidad and Tobago are singularly positioned to “redye” the nation.
期刊介绍:
Identities explores the relationship of racial, ethnic and national identities and power hierarchies within national and global arenas. It examines the collective representations of social, political, economic and cultural boundaries as aspects of processes of domination, struggle and resistance, and it probes the unidentified and unarticulated class structures and gender relations that remain integral to both maintaining and challenging subordination. Identities responds to the paradox of our time: the growth of a global economy and transnational movements of populations produce or perpetuate distinctive cultural practices and differentiated identities.
