Marshall's The Chosen Place, The Timeless People

Abstract: Community is a concept that is difficult to define and harder yet to maintain. This 6 page paper argues that Paule Marshall's book, The Chosen Place, The Timeless People, as the title indicates, incorporates two distinctive themes. The first is represented as The Chosen Place and refers to the political, economic and social schema of the West Indian island and is set in juxtaposition with the western form of living, specifically colonialism as represented by the corporate style of UNICOR. The second is seen in her development of characters that represent the dichotomy of old and new cultures; also seen as the culture of the island and the outside world. No additional sources are listed.
