| description | This article analyzes the novel The Dragon can’t Dance, written by Trinidadian writer Earl Lovelace. It focuses upon a concept of paramount importance in the history of Insular Caribbean: the concept of Caribbeanness. The article will explore the relational dynamic in the society of Calvary Hill and, complementing the work with bibliography from important authors in the history of Caribbean identity configuration, it will analyze the consequences that the process of European colonization had upon the construction of a Caribbean identity, taking as its articulating axis the racial question and finally concluding that the uprooting is a factor of which all the characters in the novel are victims, making the consolidation of a shared identity difficult. |

Este artículo analiza la novela The Dragon can’t Dance del escritor trinitense Earl Lovelace. El texto se centra en un concepto de capital importancia en la historia del Caribe insular: antillanidad. Se explora la dinámica relacional en la sociedad de Calvary Hill y, complementando el trabajo con bibliografía de autores referentes en la historia de la configuración caribeña, se analizan las consecuencias que el proceso de colonización europea tuvo en la construcción de una identidad antillana, tomando como eje articulador la cuestión racial. Finalmente, se concluye que el desarraigo se presenta en esta novela como un factor del que inevitablemente todos los personajes de la novela son víctimas, dificultando así la consolidación de una identidad compartida. Nesse artigo analisamos a novela The Dragon can’t Dance do escritor trinitino Earl Lovelace. O texto centra-se num conceito de capital importância na história do Caribe insular: a antilhanidade. Explora-se a dinâmica relacional na sociedade de Calvary Hill e, complementando a pesquisa com a bibliografia de autores fundamentais na história da configuração caribenha, analisam-se as consequências que o processo de colonização europeia teve na construção de uma identidade antilhana, tomando como eixo articulador a questão racial e concluindo que o desenraizamento apresenta-se como um fator do que todas as personagens da novela são inevitavelmente vítimas, dificultando assim a consolidação de uma identidade compartilhada.
