Petrine Archer-Straw (26 December 1956–5 December 2012) was an artist and influential art historian and curator who specialised in the art of the Caribbeans.〔("A tribute to Petrine Archer-Straw" ), ''Jamaica Observer'', 23 December 2012.〕 In the words of Eddie Chambers: "In her work as an artist, academic, art historian, writer and curator, Archer-Straw consistently challenged the prevailing orthodoxies that treat Caribbean artists and cultural practice in geographical, racial and artistic isolation. In essence, her position was that we cannot fully understand or appreciate the practice of Caribbean artists without due consideration of broader factors such as migration, history, identity and, above all diaspora – the scattering of many black people beyond their ancestral homeland of Africa."〔Eddie Chambers, ("Petrine Archer-Straw, In Memoriam, (1956–2012)" ). Extracted from obituary in ''Nka Journal of Contemporary African Art'', 32, Spring 2013.〕 == Early life == Petrine Archer-Straw grew up in Birmingham, England, during the 1960s in an atmosphere of "... racial pride, and activism".〔''Back to Black'', p. 35.〕 Her father arrived England in 1955 as a linotype press operator and subsequently sent for his family to join him.〔 Archer-Straw notes that her home was a hub for the community.〔''Back to Black'', p. 36.〕 These were extremely formative experiences for the young Archer-Straw who also recalls how she "would do the rounds (Sunday ) with my father, .... joining in house to house campaigning and, in the summer, attending the numerous rallies and protest marches.〔 However, this community work eventually drew the ire of the right-wing British National Front and the family subsequently moved to Jamaica, where Dr. Archer-Straw finished high school and started university.〔
