Synopsis

Trinidad and Tobago’s history is often told in terms of conquest, colonization, and cultural fusion. But beneath these narratives lies a deeper, more painful truth—one of division, distrust, and the lingering wounds of colonial rule. This book is not just history; it is an exploration of the forces that have shaped the Trinidadian psyche, particularly the tensions between Afro- and Indo-Trinidadians, which persist to this day.

This is a compelling blend of prose and poetry, that traces the echoes of the past into the present, revealing how colonial legacies continue to shape national identity. More importantly, this book is a call to action—a plea for all Trinidadians to move beyond racial and religious divides and embrace a shared future. Only by understanding our history can we navigate the present and build a nation united in purpose and possibility.
