Selected Writings of Alfred H. Mendes

Product Information

In 1972, Alfred Mendes was made an honorary doctor of letters by the University of the West Indies, for his contribution to the development of West Indian literature. That contribution is hugely important. Through such writing, Caribbean people began to realise and inhabit their own unique identity, their own voice — and to be proud of it. Independence from Great Britain would take another few decades (Trinidad, like many other regional territories, became independent in 1962), but the idea of that melting pot of Caribbean-ness saw some of its beginnings through the pioneering eyes of Alfred Mendes and his literary peers.

It was unclear what was going on. Mendes said: 'There was no communication. Everybody was in disagreement. So you have a dramatically wonderful situation, where you have a general say, they've gone, they've abandoned their position. Trust me, go across No Man's Land. And 200 yards later, you will meet someone else saying, that's absolute nonsense. You're going to die if you go over the top.'

James, and Pitch Lake by myself in London, there was nothing that could be termed indigenous to the region ... We, not of set purpose but quite unconsciously, created a West Indian literary climate which eased the way for young men in the future who possessed the urge to write. They were the ones who created the literary tradition: Naipaul, Lamming, Selvon, Mittelholzer, of the generation following ours."
