Literature / The Young Warriors

Edit locked.

Five teenage boys, members of a band of Maroons (runaway slaves in Jamaica during the 19th to early 20th century) living in the Maroon community of Mountain Top, pass their village's initiation tests for them to be recognized as young Maroon warriors. However, when they go out into the woods for a celebratory hunt as per their custom, they inadvertently discover that the British Redcoat soldiers, nemeses of the Maroons, are patrolling within the area.

What follows is a daring attempt by two of the boys, Tommy and Johnny, to seek aid from a neighboring Maroon band to prevent the Redcoats from learning Mountain Top's location, a mission that doubles in urgency with every passing hour...

The novel was published by Pearson Schools, and is used in Jamaican schools as an English Literature textbook. While the story itself is fictional in nature, it provides a view of the historical facts pertaining to the struggle between the Maroons and the Redcoats in Jamaica.

Tropes present in The Young Warriors :

• Big Eater : David.
• Batman Gambit : The whole plot to distract the Redcoats while Tommy and Johnny slip through their lines to seek out help from the Mocho Maroons. The later set-up for the Starapple Gully ambush becomes this as well.
• Cold-Blooded Torture : The captain of the Redcoat army threatens to do this to Charlie to get both the location of Mountain Top and the plans to summon the Mocho Maroons. Captain: Soldier, build me a fire and heat some irons red-hot. We will warm the roots of his tongue and see if that will make him talk.
• Commander Contrarian : Charlie.
• Chekhov's Skill : David's storytelling ability, used early in the novel to entertain the boys during their night out hunting. It's later used to distract the Redcoats while Tommy attempts to free a captive Charlie .
• Dawn Attack : The Maroons use this as a battle tactic against the Redcoats, as dawn is the time when soldiers sleep heaviest and they feel that all danger has passed by then.
• Death Glare : Charlie's father gives him one when he initially fails to answer Chief Phillip's questions during the question-and-answer session of the initial trials. This is largely because the boys have had to study their people's history for some time prior to the day of the trials, and if a boy fails to answer the questions correctly, he has to wait a whole year before he can try again to become a young warrior (and if he fails the second time, he'll never become one).
• Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat : Charlie, during the final test in the initial chapters, disobeys the rules of the foot-race by eating food and then turning back without completing the full length of the race.
• Full-Boar Action : Tommy and Johnny come across a wild boar during their mission, and have to climb a tree to try and escape from him.
• Hidden in Plain Sight : All Maroons are trained to blend in with the forest surroundings to avoid detection; they do this by wearing leaves on their bodies, so that they appear to be small trees when they stand up next to the genuine articles. The five boys use this on one occasion to hide in the open from a Redcoat soldier.
• Improbable Aiming Skills : While all Maroons are trained to have good aim when using knives, slings and bows, Tommy and Uriah get to show their skills during the initiation trials to qualify them as young warriors. In one of the tests, the boys are expected to shoot arrows through four holes that decrease in size with each target; while the other boys either miss the last target or have their arrows damaged while passing through it (in Charlie's case), Tommy manages to get his arrow through all the holes without a problem. In the knife-throwing tests, they have to throw knives at a bull's-eye target and at a naseberry fruit that's been thrown into the air; regarding the second test, Uriah is the only one to send his knife right through the fruit and cause the knife to land on its point.
• Jerkass : Charlie. He matures .
• Oh, Crap! : Tommy and Johnny's reaction on realizing they've stumbled upon a wild boar's den. They quickly scramble to find a tree to climb to get out of the pig's way before he charges out of his hole.
• Reasonable Authority Figure : Chief Phillip, and the war captain Dick. Also Chief James of the Mocho Maroons.
• The Resenter : Charlie is this for much of the novel. He feels that he, not Tommy, should have been selected to lead the boys on their celebratory hunt by virtue of being the oldest and "winning" the hardest of the four initiation tests (Tommy was selected because he won two of the four), and later feels that he, not Tommy and Johnny, should have been sent to find the Mocho Maroons for the same reason.
• Secret Secret-Keeper : Tommy and Johnny, witnessing Charlie's cheating during the foot-race, keep it to themselves for most of the novel, with Tommy later and briefly revealing this knowledge to Charlie during a Shut Up, Hannibal! moment. It later turns out that Chief Phillip and several of the village's leading men, including Tommy's father, were well aware of Charlie's cheating from the outset, and Tommy's father knew that his son knew as well .
• Stealth Hi/Bye : Those Maroons who have sufficient training can do this. David later utilizes this.

Young Warriors: Youth Politics, Identity and Violence in South Africa (review)

2002, Transformation: Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa

Related Papers

Vasintha Veeran

The foci of this paper are the similarities and differences of youthwork in South Africa and Northern Ireland, within the framework of understanding social capital in a post-conflict sense. Youthwork, in order to make a profound impact on the youth, needs to understand influences at a macro-, mezzo-, and micro-level. This includes the legacy of violence that has been structurally perpetuated and often casts a veil over youthwork practice. Youthwork policy in a post-conflict situation is influenced by the pre-conflict and conflict stages. This results in policy and practice that reinforces the norms of inequality which are often the precipitating factors for the violence in the first place. Youthwork policy and practice fails to recognize the nature of inequalities in a post-modern society. The divided societies of N.I. and S. A. appear to be further apart in terms of integration and the distribution of resources. Northern Ireland and South Africa remain battlegrounds of intense internal political strife. Although the design of the conflict within these countries is conceptually different, the social, physical, and psychological impact on its recipients seldom differs. The historical background of apartheid and the troubles of Northern Ireland are not only central to the development of youth programmes but directly and indirectly influence how policy is shaped. Northern Ireland, like South Africa, is in the process of moving from a conflict situation to a post-conflict situation. Although the troubles of the North are not as institutionalised as those experienced by black South Africans during the apartheid regime, the scourges that face both societies are very real and, indeed, rooted in a long-standing relationship with politics and propagandist ideology (Veeran, 2002). Any work undertaken with youth within these contexts needs to be aware of these “imbedded” issues in order to understand the barriers to progress. The conflict perspective espouses that violence and its sequalae are central to our understanding of societal structures, influencing and shaping our thinking and social conscience. Macionis and Plummer (2002) “envisage society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and change” (p. 24). The ongoing conflict between dominant and disadvantaged groups revolve around factors such as gender, race, class, and ethnicity. Young people, especially young men, are--through their masculine culture and upbringing--prone to violence as a means of moving through the rites of passage. Many young males in deprived areas see it as desirable and as a means of survival. Regrettably, in the face of extreme manifestations of violent behaviour, violence has been sanctioned as an acceptable means of socialization, discipline, and social control (Henderson, cited in Barbarin & Richter, 2001).

PhD Thesis in full

Peter Dwyer

This thesis is about understanding social change and the role of, and influence upon, agency in ‘making history’. In which an overview of the contemporary South African liberation struggle, and the first term of the African National Congress (ANC) government between 1994 and 1999, is juxtaposed with primary life history data of a group of former Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) activists, elected to government in 1994. It examines and analyses what their political participation means in practice and how this affects them and the inter-dependent interaction between individuals and the organisations of which they are members. The comprehension of these relationships, the basic ingredients of which are structural explanation and intentional understanding are situated in the debates around structure and agency and their inter-relationship. Drawing on ‘Marxist’ epistemology it shows how notions of class, conflict, exploitation etc facilitates an understanding of these relationships and the concomitant social relations. As agency and political ideas are an irreducible element of social change, these concepts, taken together with an historical outline of the ANC and the political beliefs that inform activists, aid our understanding of how structure and agency interacts and relates to activists experiences. Drawing on primary interviews, it also compares their experiences with that of more critical and contemporary COSATU activists, to establish if and how they differ and if the activists, turned politicians, have changed their views and ideas from those they were associated with before they went into government. In the process, it shows how these activists have come a long way in terms of what they have experienced and their political and ideological development – that in ‘making history’ they have changed in the process. It shows how they became organised and ideologically committed activists shaped to varying degrees by the mix of nationalist and socialist ideas and rhetoric, reflecting the politics of the ANC leadership and the constituent parts of its multi-class organisation, and how this continues to influence their political development.

and Keywords This essay draws attention to the complexities of understanding violence as a phenome non and experience that almost always involves multiple parties, and contestations about violence itself and its use. It does so as both a theoretical and qualitative exploration of the concept and its lived experiences. The essay begins by puzzling over the intelligibility of violence and its definitional issues. Drawing on disciplinary approaches to violence (e.g., biological, sociological and political) as well as violence as spectacle, symbolic, em bodied, systemic or implicit, it shows how violence has been and is mobilized to bring at tention to sociopolitical and economic challenges currently and historically. Next it exam ines student experiences of violence during the recent student movement events in South Africa, and locates this event within the historical context of South Africa's past and cur rent experience of violence. Ultimately, the essay attempts to offer a way of thinking about violence less as an aberration to our peaceful existence but rather argues that vio lence might shape our very existence. It concludes by offering "existential violence" as a concept to help think through the relationship between existence and violence in a more nuanced way.

'Disappointed' Eve calls on young Soca Warriors to step up

SOCA Warriors head coach Angus Eve has called on his younger players to step up to the plate following Trinidad and Tobago's 2-1 friendly win over Guyana at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo on May 13.

In the first of two friendly matches between the two teams in the build-up to Fifa 2026 World Cup qualifying next month, the hosts stormed out to a 2-0 lead at the halfway mark after a pair of well-taken goals by debutants Ezekiel Kesar and Kevon "Showtime" Woodley, the 2023/24 TT Premier Football League's (TTPFL) leading goal scorer.

The home team's intensity and control diminished in the second half, though, and the Guyanese came on strong in the second period after grabbing a 47th-minute goal from their tricky winger Kelsey Benjamin. The 25-year-old Benjamin was highlighted as one of the standout players by coach Jamaal Shabazz, who felt the visitors gave a good account of themselves in the "useful exercise."

Eve was pleased with his team's execution of their game plan in the first half, and he said TT should have capitalised on their positive spells to put the game beyond the "Golden Jaguars" in the first 45. In the second half, though, with the Soca Warriors coach making a handful of substitutions and granting debuts to the midfield quartet of Simeon Bailey, Adriel George, Josiah Wilson and San Juan North Secondary star Lindell Sween, Eve noted a drop in his team's standard.

"I was disappointed. To be fair, I thought it was a game of two halves," Eve told the media after the match. "I thought in the first half we really did what we wanted to do and what we practised. Basically, the ball (retention) was really good in the first half. We moved the ball around and we changed sides. We penetrated and we created opportunities.

"In the second half, that just went to pieces. I know we made some changes and we did play some younger kids but I was disappointed with their quality on the ball."

Kesar and the Caledonia forward Woodley, who has netted 16 goals in the TTPFL this season, were both taken off in the 67th minute as Wilson and the 17-year-old Sween entered the fray. Meanwhile, the central midfield pair of Bailey and George came on in the 76th minute as Matthew Woo-Ling and Daniel David, another debutant, made way.

Operating on the left and right wings respectively, Wilson and Sween looked anxious and hurried in possession, while the latter spurned TT's best second-half chance after being played through on goal in stoppage time. Known for his sturdy midfield play and tough tackling, the lanky Bailey also wasted a presentable chance when he shot wildly over bar in the 82nd minute after the opposition failed to deal with a Wilson corner.

"I know it's a lot of young kids that we put on, but I expect bigger things from them. Josiah Wilson and young (Lindell) Sween have been playing at national level for a while and they have been playing at senior (club) level for a while, so I expected a little bit more from them today."

Eve said he was initially surprised by Guyana's 5-3-2 shape, which saw their centre-backs and central midfielders getting ample time to stroke the ball around as they looked for gaps in the TT defence.

Eve felt his team read Guyana's intentions well enough, though, as he said the Warriors limited the clear-cut chances created by the visitors. Eve was pleased with the output of the midfield trio of David, Woo-Ling and Defence Force ball-winner Kevon Goddard, and he said his plan to play two "number tens" alongside the workmanlike Goddard proved effective.

He said there is still room for improvement, particularly as it relates to the fitness of the players.

"I think making the jump up is always going to be difficult," he said. "We have to play more games of this intensity for the guys to really hit their full potential."

Eve also commended the play of flankers Isaiah Lee and Kesar, who gave the TT attack variety with their contrasting styles. The speedy Lee worked well in tandem with Ross Russell Jr down the left flank to get in behind the defence, while Kesar often drifted inside and found pockets of space outside the area – leading to his goal and a subsequent assist for Woodley.

On the 37-year-old Woodley, Eve said the striker's performance was "fantastic" as he played the number nine role to a T.

"He was a little bit leggy after 55 or 60 minutes, but what he did in the first 45 to 55 minutes is exactly what we expected of him," Eve said.

"He held up the ball, he linked the play well and he got his goal. And his runs off the ball probably deserved a little bit more."
