In 1960 at the University College of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica, Arthur Lewis, as Principal, addressed students on their Matriculation. In his Address, Lewis described himself, like most of his audience, as a ‘new’ student, but in his case one who had been away from the West Indies for 27 years. The theme of his Address was the question of West Indian ‘identity’:
‘What is a West Indian?’ he asked the students in his Address. ‘What are we trying to be? These are the speculations of a West Indian who has been away from these islands since before you were born, and who has only just returned. It is not I who will make the image of the new West Indian, but you.’
