Crisis

Coca-Cola has not always been a squeaky-clean company that never had problems. The stock price of the company is the same price as it was 10 years ago, and this is due to the ethical and legal issues that were associated with the company. A small problem occurred in Belgium in 1999 when a few children fell ill after drinking a product with the Coca-Cola brand on it. They had a recall on the product there in Belgium, but soon after, every item Coca-Cola made was pulled off the shelves in every store. This caused a loss of reputation, which, in turn, made people lose respect for the company and investors started selling their stocks in Coca-Cola. Neighboring countries, such as Luxembourg and the Netherlands, soon followed suit and recalled all products throughout both countries. After Coca-Cola found the root of the problem, that being a bad batch of carbon dioxide, they made an announcement regarding the situation. Being a few days after all this happened was a little too slow for the media, and they ate up the story making Coca-Cola look worse than what was said about them. However, this was not the only occurrence. France supposedly had about one hundred people become sick due to mold in the products they consumed. Every single product was banned throughout France until the problem was resolved, but Coca-Cola had yet another slow response to the problem and their reputation was further diminished. During this crisis, Coca-Cola started to run into different problems with their marketing in European countries with anti-trust laws. They wanted to create a merger with themselves and Orangina, a French company, but their overaggressive style turned off the other companies in the deal, which became a problem. Their strong-arm tactics proved to be too much for the foreign countries, and creating a competitive advantage seemed to cross the line of the anti-trust laws in which they were sued for the by the country of Italy. Italy won the court-case, which caused investigations of the company’s competitive practices, which is never a good thing for business,

Social and Economic Studies 62: 1 (2013): 53– 78 ISSN: 0037-7651 Don’t Hate Me ‘Cause I’m Pretty: Race, Gender and The Bleached Body in Jamaica Winnifred Brown-Glaude ABSTRACT This essay offers an interpretive textual analysis of newspaper articles, music lyrics and internet commentaries on skin bleaching in Jamaica, with a particular focus on dancehall artist Vybz Kartel. I argue that bleached bodies exemplify a liminal state of embodiment and are not definable within normative racial and gender frameworks that conceptualise race and gender as discrete, static identities that are clearly visible on the body. By disrupting those frameworks, bleached bodies can create room for thinking about race, gender and bodies more broadly and inclusively. The essay is organised into four parts: I begin with a discussion of an event at the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica, in March 2011, where dancehall artist Vybz Kartel gave a lecture about his life, art and his decision to bleach his skin. Then I briefly discuss the literature on skin bleaching; this is followed by a theoretical discussion of race, gender and embodiment. Thirdly, 1 discuss my research methods and findings. Finally, I discuss ways in which Kartel’s bleached body expose and challenge normative frameworks of race and gender in Jamaica. ‘Pretty Like a Colouring Book’ On 10 March 2011, Vybz Kartel, a controversial dancehall’ artist, gave a lecture at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Kingston, Jamaica. Kartel’s invitation to the university emerged out of a brief public exchange between himself and Carolyn Cooper, Professor of Literary and Cultural Studies at UWI, who publicly criticised Kartel for engaging in the practice of skin bleaching, a form of body modification that uses a variety of chemicals to lighten one’s skin colour.? In editorials in The Daily Gleaner, one of Jamaica’s 1 Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican music developed in the late 1970s that consists of a deejay rapping over a reggae-like beat. 2 This practice is also referred to as skin whitening and/or skin lightening (Amgborale Blay 2011; Nakano-Glenn 2009).
