Laura’s mother ultimately changes her daughter’s mind about canceling the party when she gives Laura the hat she herself was planning on wearing to the fête. Laura is at first resistant to this gift, as she is well aware that it’s her mother’s attempt at pacifying her, but changes her mind once she sees her reflection. Despite the fact that Laura considered the shattered family “nearly neighbors,” (2587) she believes throwing a party right above a home in mourning is in poor taste. She leaves…

The Man Who Ran Away by Alfred H. Mendes and The Dragon Can’t Dance by Earl Lovelace are two uniquely Trinidadian works of the 20th century. Both of them portray many cultural themes unique to Trinidad, from Carnival to the barrack-yard.

For the upper class, with its more varied diet, life might be longer, but the poor suffered nutritionally due to money shortages. For these reasons, during the Elizabethan Era, food, nutrition, and accessibility were completely based on social class.

Writings by white, male, upper-class individuals dominate the canon of Western History. While such a dominance does not negate their scholarship, the voices of the marginalized—women, the poor and ethnic minorities—are not represented in this limited historical viewpoint. Many mid-20th century historians felt that there was a need to counter this inequality of representation. For example, E.P. Thompson, Clifford Geertz and Natalie Zemon Davis each generated works that revealed the history of a…
