The slave-system triangle—Africa, the Caribbean-South America, and Britain—still has repercussions on contemporary society and is accountable for the globalized exclusion scheme not only in the ex-colonies but also in the former metropolises. Since history is subverted by re-narrating what happened to non-Europeans during the last five hundred years, Andrea Levy’s Fruit of the Lemon (1999) utilizes orature to trigger the subjectification process in Faith Jackson, a British-born black female whose parents hail from Jamaica. Orature does not merely involve the remembrance of past slave histories and colonizers’ violence, but the construction of a new subject through revelations on the daily struggle for work, friendship, community-building, racial inclusion and the dire facts of the Caribbean diaspora. Transindividual social tensions affecting the British black subject, native or immigrant, boil down to interracial and class tensions for global domination and othering, similar to what happened in the past. The novel denounces the immigrants’ “amnesia” as a policy and the myth of a British multicultural society accepting peacefully ex-colonial subjects. Results show that remembrance through orature is a powerful means of subjectification, an antidote against a racialized society and a taking of position in favor of the other. In Fruit of the Lemon Levy installs an agonistic stance in which the authority of hegemonic discourse is subverted and a new liberating and hybridized discourse produced.
