“Caribbean culture is not evolving but already shaped. Its proportions are not to be measured by the traveller or the exile, but by its own citizenry and architecture. To be told you are not yet a city or a culture requires this response. I am not your city or your culture.”
― Derek Walcott, The Antilles: Fragments of Epic Memory: The Nobel Lecture
