"The Caribbean in general and Barbados in particular, despite its illustrious scholarly achievements, is yet to develop an adequate intellectual infrastructure for archiving and documenting the quotidian dimensions of social and political life of the people of this region. Better Must Come, by Elombe Mottley, is an attempt to correct this situation with regard to Barbados, so that those who come after us might have a better sense of the legacies they inherit."
