Description

Alford George, a former schoolteacher turned populist politician, is faced with a new challenge: welcoming the diverse races of Trinidad to their own island and finding ways to liberate those who continue to struggle under old captivities.

After 19 years of teaching his pupils to emigrate, Alford must now navigate this complex task, one that requires him to confront his own elitist past and find a way forward for the people he has sworn to serve.

This thought-provoking novel explores themes of identity, power, and social change in post-colonial Trinidad, offering a nuanced and insightful portrayal of a nation struggling to come to terms with its past and forge a new future.
