Professor Geoffrey Philp traces the origins of language
suppression as a tool of colonial policy in the Caribbean and the various forms
of resistance in the work of Haitian and Jamaican writers such as Manno Charlemagne, Bob Marley, Louise
Bennett, and Felix Morrisseau-Leroy.
Geoffrey Philp, author of
the e-book, Bob Marley and Bradford’s iPod, has also written
five collections of poetry, two children's e-books, and two short story
