Dangerous Creole Liaisons explores a French Caribbean context to broaden discussions of sexuality, nation building, and colonialism in the Americas.

Questioning their exhilarating exoticism and titillating eroticism underscores the ambiguous celebration of the Creole woman as both seductress and an object of lust. She embodies the Caribbean as a space...

Westminster's Jewel: The Barbados Story
ISBN: 9789768265104 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. WESTMINSTER'S JEWEL, is a rare expose on the history and evolution of Barbadian society, that will captivate both Barbadians (and other Caribbeans) and citizens of the United Kingdom unfamiliar with the history of British colonialism in the Caribbean. The book is an interesting mix of narrative and poetry, done in the author's own elegant - at times caustic style. It presents the Barbados story in an easy, non-academic fashion - from the arrival of the British in 1627 to the present; and offers critical - sometimes biting - commentary on current social norms. In recent times there's been a...

Veritas vos Liberabit - English
ISBN: 9781533282439 / Angielski / Miękka / 588 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Veritas vos Liberabit - English is a faithful account of national and International events that occurred from the year 2010 to 2015. Haiti, where leaders foster obscurantism, and when enlightenment is seen as a threat that must be drastically dealt with, one must not question why such a hard working people, lives on the brink of extinction. Veritas vos Liberabit is also a roadmap, a mirror and a birds eye view of Haiti's political landscape, and maybe useful to those interested in learning the truth as regards to the Haitian revolution.
