Produktbeschreibung
Pioneers of the Caribbean invites readers to share the journey of two modern pioneers from the Caribbean Dolvis and Veronica. The story takes you on their voyage to the land of opportunities and their vision of goals and dreams for their family. The backdrop and reason for their flight for a better life are the political and economic struggles of black women and their families trying to move through the class and colour biases of 1950 island life. Their triumphs and disappointments are relived through the eyes of their daughters Ingrid and Patricia. It is a story of transformation, overcoming challenges and achieving success in areas sought and in other more complex areas not thought of. You are invited to journey with them to share and experience and also relive your life's journey and expectations, as it is only through sharing and experiencing and relating to others, do we gain a fuller understanding of who we are, where we came from and where we need to go to make each other whole.
