reviewed A New World Order: Essays on August 09, 2015 A New World Order: Essays
A study in cultural and racial distinctions affecting the Caribbean immigrant to the UK and the one to the US. Born in St. Kitts and now a Yale professor with dual citizenship, he tells us that on one hand in Britain he could never be considered essentially British whereas in America he is more easily assimilated into American society albeit as African American. I especially enjoyed his essay on Marvin Gaye and his dismissal of VS Naipaul as an author ashamed of his homeland, T&T. Interesting perspectives from a man with a three-dimensional past: UK, Caribbean and now so-called African-American. Good read!
