A History of Creole Trinidad, 1956-2010
Autor Raymond Ramcharitaren Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 aug 2022

Drawing on a wide range of sources, including literature, government reports, official statistics, the press and the Carnival, it critically analyses the popular conception of creolization as the driving force in modern Trinidad and Tobago. Ultimately, the book examines the way in which Trinidad and Tobago's unique ethnic and political ecosystems contribute to its national character.

Recenzii

His recognition of calypso as a key cultural element is excellent. … A clear, scholarly, meticulously detailed and professional work of history.” (Anton L. Allahar, New West Indian Guide, Vol. 96 (3-4), September, 2022)
