8. Critically analyse the poem ‘Ananse’ by Edward Brathwaite.
Edward Brathwaite's poem 'Ananse' is a complex and multi-layered exploration of cultural identity and the legacy of colonialism in the Caribbean. The poem is centered around the figure of Ananse, a popular folk character in Caribbean culture, who is often portrayed as a trickster and a symbol of resistance against oppression.
The poem begins with a vivid description of Ananse, who is portrayed as a powerful and dynamic force in Caribbean culture. Brathwaite writes, "he was black as jet / with legs like pipe-stems / and a stomach huge as a gourd / his eyes were glittering fire / and his teeth glinting steel". This powerful imagery creates a sense of awe and reverence around Ananse, positioning him as a central figure in Caribbean culture and identity.
