IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY - Michael Anthony

It is 1903 in Trinidad. Eva's rage at her people's treatment under colonial rule is growing. With just a few days to go before the government passes oppressive new legislation, the people start to voice their opposition, and Eva embarks on a desperate plan.

This story of love, revenge and racial tension brings to life a tragic episode in Trinidad's history.

THE EMPTY SLEEVES - The Story of the West India Regiments of the British Army

Brian Dyde

Raised in 1795 from among the slave population in the West Indies and disbanded in 1927, the West India Regiments were invaluable, first, during the Napoleonic Wars and later throughout the Caribbean and in all the British West African colonies. This book traces their history and also examines how these soldiers, regardless of loyalty and devotion, were never fully accepted in the man's army.

AFRICAN-CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS

The Search for Individual and Group Identity

Carl Hylton

This book shows how groups can overcome certain external barriers of racism and social exclusion but also how within each group, internal barriers have to be dealt with, based principally on age differentials, gender divides, and differences to do with place of birth and dwelling.
