Headlines by Leslie Garth (00:00-00:36)2. This special edition follows from the recent meetings of the West Indian Commission in Britain with persons of Caribbean heritage. Leslie Garth sits with a group of young black people to find out their views on the Caribbean. Professor Rex Nettleford, a member of the West Indian Commission, notes that they have been getting conflicting signals from young blacks and adds that many of them do not see the Caribbean as a source of energy and point of reference but looks to Africa and some refer to themselves as Afro Caribbean. He sees this as a generational change and believes there is an identity crisis in young black persons as they do not see the region as part of their agenda. Winston Cornish, Editor of Britain’s largest black newspaper, Caribbean Voice, argues that there is a need to define where the identify crisis is and who it is with in the young black persons of Britain. A young businessman notes that they are misinformed about what happens in the Caribbean regarding the standard of education, health, living conditions and deprivation. The news is always negative and the only true picture comes from information received from family members in the Caribbean. Another young person noted that statistics from a recent study report that Europe, America and Canada are more popular places of interest that black people look for inspiration. Further the study revealed that 60% of persons 40 years and over, living in Britain, expressed interest in returning to the Caribbean after retirement. Young black persons note that it would be good if investment programs can be set up for these persons who want to return to the region. It should be noted that young black people are making different types of decision as to where they want to work and live. If the Caribbean wants its share of influence amongst the black community in Britain, it needs to take a more positive role in the way it approaches young black people (00:37-14:44)Stereo 192 bit rate MP3;44,100 Mega bits;16 bit14 min. 44 sec.Sound, mp3enCopyright British Broadcasting CorporationCaribbean area -- social aspects.Foreign relations -- Caribbean area -- Britain.Young adults -- Caribbean area.Identity (philosophical concept) -- Caribbean area.West Indian Commission.Caribbean voice newspaper.Blacks -- Britain -- Caribbean area.Recording, oralAccess to this collection is available on site at the Main Library, Mona Campus (main.library@uwimona.edu.jm), Jamaica and The Alma Jordan Library (wimail@sta.uwi.edu), St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago.
