The Middle Passage: The Caribbean Revisited
V.S. Naipaul travels through Trinidad, British Guiana, Suriname, Martinique and Jamaica, observing communities, political change, colonial inheritances and social divisions. Genuine travel writing, though often sharply judgmental and controversial. British Guiana and Suriname are especially valuable here because relatively few English-language travel books explore them in depth.
