Produktbeschreibung
Journey to the heart of Trinidad and Tobago, where history and culture blend into a vibrant tapestry of resilience, identity, and hope. Witness to the Corner invites readers to experience the stories of a nation shaped by the trials of emancipation, the endurance of indentureship, and the triumph of unity over division. Told through the perspective of Witness-a stick carved from the sacred silk cotton tree-this tale chronicles the lives of generations who fought, dreamed, and danced under its watchful gaze. From the Gayelle's where stickfighters highlighted strength and grace, to the joyous defiance of Carnival celebrations, Witness to the Corner captures the indomitable spirit of a people who refused to be silenced. Meet Bastille, a freedman who turned oppression into a legacy of freedom; Bahudar, an indentured laborer who brought the vibrant rhythms of India to Trinidad's shores; Ravi and Amara, whose love bridged two cultures and defied boundaries; and Josiah, a child of the new dawn, forging his own path in a world striving for unity. Rich with the sights, sounds, and soul of Trinidad, this book is more than a story-it is a tribute to a land, its people, and the enduring legacy of strength passed through generations. Through the echoes of tassa drums, steelpan melodies, and the sacred wood of the silk cotton tree, Witness to the Corner weaves a powerful narrative of resilience, love, and identity.
