Overview
This article considers the popular preoccupation with order and discipline over freedom in Barbados and Jamaica. I argue that the very emphasis on order and discipline is a mechanism for classing and racing groups thereby constructing their place in society. I draw on the meanings of freedom and order that prevailed in the colonial Caribbean to provide a context in which contemporary understandings emerged and which I argue require interrogation. The article is concerned with contemporary forms of domination as they relate to problems of political order, political obligation and Caribbean pursuits of freedom and justice. En este artículo se examina la preocupación popular por el orden y la disciplina por encima de la libertad en Barbados y Jamaica. Voy a sostener que esta misma insistencia en el orden y la disciplina es un mecanismo para clasificarles a los grupos según clase y raza y así construir su lugar en la sociedad. Me apoyo en los significados prevalecientes de libertad y orden en el Caribe colonial para contextualizar los entendimientos contemporáneos los cuales sostengo requieren interrogatorio. El artículo estudia las formas contemporáneas de dominación relacionadas con problemas contemporáneos del orden político, la obligación política y la búsqueda de la libertad y la justicia para el Caribe. Cet article examine l'obsession populaire avec l'ordre et la discipline sur la liberté de la Barbade et de la Jamaïque. Je soutiens que l'accent même sur l'ordre et la discipline est un mécanisme pour le classement social et la raciale des groupes qui construit ainsi leur place dans la société. Je m'appuie sur les sens de la liberté et de l'ordre qui ont prévalu dans les Caraïbes coloniales pour fournir un contexte dans lequel les interprétations contemporaines ont émergé et que je soutiens exigent de l'interrogation. Le document porte sur les formes contemporaines de domination en ce qui concerne les problèmes d'ordre politique, d'obligation politique et des activités des Caraïbes pour la liberté et la justice.
