Caribbean Impulse in Lilian Allen”s Psychic Unrest
This paper presents a discussion of Lilian Allen’s dub poetry, focusing on language as performance. Emerging out of a cultural legacy of oppression and displacement, Allen’s dub poetry participates in the poetic project of transforming the Canadian literary landscape, re-shaping it, as a form of cultural resistance. The paper thus takes a look at Allen’s poetry as a Caribbean Canadian prototype, a body of poetry creating a multiple framework of immigrant experiences.
