Photo credit: Domnik.net<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During my short visit to Dominica last month I made a brief stop in Castle Bruce, an agricultural village on the east coast\u00a0\u00a0 to visit relatives. As I drove slowly through the center of the village in Jalousie, I could barely control the jeep on a bumpy and medieval like unpaved road. I asked myself is anybody representing this place or is it forgotten and a lost cause? \u00a0I was determined to contact Parliamentary Representative Mr. Johnson Drigo before I left to ask him why is this main \u00a0road in such deplorable condition. I quickly remembered that my well placed Castle Bruce sources told me in back in March that Drigo will be dropped from the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) ticket for the next elections.\u00a0 And so having any dialogue with him would be pointless.<\/p>\n<p>I can remember the very first time I visited the village where my dad was born and raised when I was a kid in the late 60s. It was\u00a0 a rainy day and the red clay dirt \u00a0stuck to my black \u2018toeless\u2019 shoes as my elderly grandparents \u00a0struggled down\u00a0 a hillside\u00a0 not too far from \u00a0their small wooden house in Jalousie to greet me. My dad (their son) had left the village in the early 50&#8217;s for greener pastures in Guadeloupe where he met my mom, a teenager from the La Plaine Valley who was working and living with her older brother in Petit Bourg. They briefly returned home where my sister and I were born before migrating to London.<\/p>\n<p>According to historian Dr. Honychurch, the village got its name from Captain James Bruce of the Royal Engineers in the 1760s when the British took over the island. \u00a0Captain Bruce surveyed and selected one of the flattest and widest valleys on the island that opens up into a sheltered bay for his plantation. He named his new plantation after himself and prefaced his house with the word \u2018Castle\u2019 to make it sound more grand. He purchased hundreds of slaves to work on his plantation and at various times scores escaped into the surrounding hills to join the Maroons (\u2018Negre Marron\u2019). Castle Bruce was the scene of the capture of the free mulatto revolutionary Jean Louis Polininare in 1791, the leader of a major revolt on the island that year. In 1860 a police station was built near the old Castle.<\/p>\n<p>In 1950 The Commonwealth Development Corporation (C.D.C) bought the old estate. The British government set up the C.D.C in 1948 with the\u00a0 aim to develop self-sustaining agriculture, industry and trade in the British empire, especially in poor rural areas in Africa and the Caribbean. The C.D.C employed almost everyone in Castle Bruce and the surrounding hamlets in banana and coconut production. \u00a0In an article\u00a0 entitled , \u2018 Radical Politics in Dominica 1970-1980&#8242;, Attorney \u00a0and author\u00a0 Mr. Gabriel Christian outlines the demise \u00a0of \u00a0the C.D.C\u00a0 and\u00a0 the change in the\u00a0 land holding patterns on the estate.<\/p>\n<p>In 1972, the workers at C.D.C revolted (known as the Castle Bruce Affair) under the leadership of Cornell University educated agronomist and a former Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Atherton (Athie) Martin. Upon his return to Dominica, Athie was made an estate manager at C.D.C. He later disagreed with what he considered to be a draconian managerial directive to fire 53 workers for financial reasons. This action would further impoverish the village which depended on the estate for income.\u00a0 Athie deeply resented the exploitation of village peasant laborers on the C.D.C estate and thought they should run it in their interest on a collective basis.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On November 3, 1973, a contingent of Castle Bruce farmers under the leadership of Martin attempted an entry into the National Day parade at the Botanical Gardens. Forewarned, the police swooped down on the farmers seizing their red and black banners. However, the pressure tactics worked and the farmers\u2019 voices were heard. In time, the estate was purchased and turned into cooperatively farmed property. \u00a0The Caste Bruce Farmers Cooperatives\u00a0 (1972-1978) had a\u00a0 significant influence on the direction of rural<i> <\/i>development processes in the Caribbean in the 70s. Given today\u2019s dire economic situation in rural Dominica, that model should be revisited.\u00a0 Athie would move on to organize the farmers in Castle Bruce (and nationwide) into a formidable political force. Therefore one could surmised that the UWP was\u00a0 conceived in Castle Bruce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While the economics of the village has not risen, the recent politics of Castle Bruce can be best described as a mixed bag of surprises. In the 1995 general elections, Banana farmer Mr. Rome Bannis of the UWP defeated his two opponents who hold doctorate degrees. \u00a0In the 1980s the then Parliamentary Representative, the late Eden Durant, crossed over from the opposition Dominica Labour Party (DLP) to the Dominica Freedom Party (DFP).\u00a0 In 2000 United Workers Party (UWP) Parliamentary Representative, Ms. Lorraine Bannis who replaced her uncle Rome, defected from the UWP and the joined PM Rosie Douglas\u2019 DLP government.<\/p>\n<p>I have always studied the socio-economic dynamics, politics, history and migratory patterns of Castle Bruce villagers first to the UK and then to the USVI and North America. In addition, most of the political candidates during the last five elections have been closely related cousins. The question today remains, can the UWP opposition recapture this rural agricultural constituency at the next elections? Those topics will sure dominate the Bannis\/John-Finn\/Drigo family reunion next year in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During my short visit to Dominica last month I made a brief stop in Castle Bruce, an agricultural village on the east coast\u00a0\u00a0 to visit relatives.
