Summary
"Written primarily for the people of Trinidad and Tobago, this book will nevertheless be of great interest to the Caribbean diaspora and to individuals who wish to understand the social, cultural, political, and economic dynamics of a developing Caribbean nation. Partially written in Trinidadian dialect, the text has afforded the athor a forum to reveal some uncomfortable episodes in his life. The author also researches the steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, comparing the sweetness of this instrument and the two island nations with the sourness of the many terrible upheavals in Trinidadian and Tobagoan society."--Cover.
