Resumo
This study is on the relationship between Indian and African Descendant
Community in Trinidad during the nineteenth century. Theses two populations
coexisted under the tense atmosphere involving all kinds of stereotypes, dispersion
policies and interest wars from local gazettes playing in defense of each involved group.
Thus arises the following question: how was it possible for the two groups to work
together, that is, in the same space of plantation, without serious conflicts? A probable
response to this question is found on perception of existence of cultural negotiation
spaces, built up by circumstance of “liminal stage”, into the “journeys”, in which
people from different cultures can temporally seeing each other without social status.
In face this situation of impact, such populations played a series of symbolical resources
from your cultures for to obtain necessary autonomy in terms of building your festive-
religious spaces and hence to subvert the discursive order of the elite.
