Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the Nobel Prize-winning author comes a classic of modern travel writinga deft portrait of Trinidad and the four adjacent Caribbean societies still haunted by the legacies of slavery and colonialism.Belongs in the same category of travel writing as Lawrences books on Italy, Greenes on West Africa and Pritchetts on Spain. New StatesmanIn 1960 the government of Trinidad invited V. S. Naipaul to revisit his native country and record his impressions. In The Middle Passage, Naipaul watches a Trinidadian movie audience greeting Humphrey Bogarts appearance with cries of That is man! He ventures into a Trinidad slum so insalubrious that the locals call it the Gaza Strip. He follows a racially charged election campaign in British Guiana (now Guyana) and marvels at the Gallic pretension of Martinique society, which maintains the fiction that its roads are extensions of Frances routes nationales. And throughout he relates the ghastly episodes of the regions colonial past and shows how they continue to inform its language, politics, and values. The result is a work of novelistic vividness and dazzling perspicacity that displays Naipaul at the peak of his powers. Originally published: London: A. Deutsch, 1962.
