The Gaulin Wife – Helen Klonaris’ blog
Lynn Sweeting sent me this link today, and it’s with much pride that I announce it here. I’m not always so excited about new blogs, but I know Helen, I know her work, and I encourage everybody who’s interested in thinking differently about ourselves as Bahamians take the time to visit — specially if you’re interested in culture, writing, or identity.
Here’s an excerpt from what she’s thinking:
When individuals step out of line, or cross the line between status quo and the unknown, into the dangerous and wild places of the imagination, we tell them first they are abominations; we tell them they are of the devil. We threaten them with spiritual warfare, eternal damnation and the like. When that doesn’t work, when those individuals do not cower in fear for their souls, we send in backup: the physical forces of domination, in this case, the Royal Bahamian Police Force.
