“In this CSME time. In this time of dancehall self-righteousness versus soca wutlessness. In this time when Trinis don't want to hear about “small islanders” reaching to the Billboard charts with soca music. In this time when Haitians still call out for our help and we still studiously ignore them. . . . It is now more than ever that we need to consider what it means to this generation,” writes [1] Attillah Springer in the latest entry in the “Caribbeanness” debate which was set in motion by a post [2] at Global Voices Americas’ editor David Sasaki's blog.
