Mervyn Morris Quotes
In 'Colonization In Reverse'41 (a Famous Poem Much Anthologized) The Speaker Is Presented As A More Or Less Reliable Commentator Who Implies That Jamaicans Who Come To 'settle In De Motherlan' Are Like English People Who Settled In The Colonies. West Indian Entrepreneurs, Shipping Off Their Countrymen 'like Fire', Turn History Upside Down. Fire Can Destroy, But May Also Be A Source Of Warmth To Be Welcomed In Temperate England. Those People Who 'immigrate An Populate' The Seat Of The Empire Seem, Like Many A Colonizer, Ready To Displace Previous Inhabitants. 'Jamaica Live Fi Box Bread/Out A English People Mout' Plays On A Fear That Newcomers Might Exploit The Natives; And Some Of The Immigrants Are - Like Some Of The Colonizers From 'the Motherland' - Lazy And Inclined To Put On Airs. Can England, Who Faced War And Braved The Worst, Cope With People From The Colonies Turning History Upside Down? Can She Cope With 'Colonizin In Reverse'?
