Reading TASK 1
Discovering your ancestral roots: a path to truly feel like yourself Greta Solomon, a writer, gained a richer sense of self when she discovered her ancestors were gifted storytellers too. I’ve always been proud of my identity as a person of Black Caribbean origin. My mother had left Jamaica aged 10 to join her father and stepmother in England. Similarly, my father left the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis as a teenager, to study maths and engineering. They met, married and settled in a suburb of London, where I was born and raised. I knew the stories of my paternal great-grandfather who was born at the tail end of slavery in St Kitts, the twin island to Nevis. He grew up to be a successful entrepreneur in the construction industry and was instrumental in setting up the first trade union in St Kitts. That was all well documented. But I knew nothing of my African ancestry before the transatlantic slave trade until I decided to take a DNA test that enables you to discover the specific ethnicity of your mother’s maternal line, up to 2,000 years ago. Three weeks later, I found out that I’m descended from the Fang and Tikar people of Cameroon and Gabon. So much of popular psychology focuses on the need to individuate and self-actualise. But the need to belong to a race, culture and community is an integral part of our sense of self. So, how is identity formed? “Identity development is an extremely complex process,” explains Dr Sarah Gaither. “These include where you’re living, messages your parents, peers or teachers give you, and encounters and experiences where someone may question you or notice something different about you. Usually, these encounters cause someone to go and learn about whatever that identity or difference may be. They either accept that part of themselves by learning to internalise it, or decide that the identity doesn’t match their sense of self.” Since the age of six, I’d known I was a writer, after a teacher praised a story I wrote. My mother had taught me the alphabet before I went to school and I quickly started reading. She helped nurture my love of literature by taking me to the library every week. By the age I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I was also fascinated by the mechanics of songwriting, and would listen to Madonna songs on repeat, pulling apart the lyrics to understand how to construct my own songs. I’ve been a working journalist for eight years, but I don’t think my Mum has ever read a single article I’ve written – she’s always showed zero interest in this core part of me. Discovering that the Tikar people of Cameroon were known for their artistry and storytelling made me realise my deep-rooted love of writing was grounded in something bigger than me. According to the Roots Revealed blog, many Tikar people were gifted in writing, acting, dancing and music. Despite my mother’s lack of interest I could believe there was a set of ancestors who would have embraced my writerly self and encouraged me to share my stories. Surely, finding and discovering your ancestral roots can bring a new way of thinking about your identities, and past and present belonging. But I was surprised to learn that from the point of view of science there is no such thing as race – it’s a social construct. A research carried out by Dr Keon West suggests that generally, people are good at the things they practise, regardless of their ancestry. He writes, “That said, it can be helpful to remember that the world is full of a large variety of diverse people, and that what is considered weird in one culture is perfectly normal in another. British men, according to stereotypes, notoriously hate dancing. A British man who can’t resist the call of dance might take comfort in discovering that he is part Cuban, Trinidadian or Russian, as this can remind him that there are places in the world where dancing is a normal, valued trait in men. This would transform him, in his own mind, from an odd Brit, to a dancer from a line of dancers.” After leaving her homeland, my mother never returned to Jamaica. She said the circumstances of her leaving were too sad to ever return. Shortly after taking that DNA test, I visited Jamaica for the first time, finally able to piece together some parts of my and my mother’s history. Of her life, I have fragments – photos, stories, hearsay – and events forever etched in my consciousness that remain largely unspoken. I think I will be able to put them all together and learn more about her. Knowing her genetic beginning (and mine) gives me something else I can grasp on to.
