Add to basketPaperback. Condition: new. Williams, Ashley (illustrator). Paperback. From the Inside Looking Out is unlike any children's book you've read. This collection of short stories inspired by the author's own childhood growing up in rural Barbados in the 1930s is as educational as it is entertaining, promoting cultural awareness of the African diaspora through games, meals, and everyday practices. The stories follow young Porgy as he navigates his paternal grandmother's prejudice toward his peasant mother and learns to creatively overcome the obstacles to his personal goals. The winsome boy soon becomes a town favorite, proving himself to be clever, imaginative, and kind-and his adventures are sure to encourage similar qualities in all who read his tales. From stories illustrating the effects of colonialism to more typical coming-of-age experiences such as learning to read and getting a dog, this playful and inspirational book is great for both classroom and home. Porgy's life doesn't only teach kids about another time and culture; his experiences will also spark their creative thinking and motivate them to chase their own dreams. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - After leaving rural Barbados in his teens, Irvine Weekes began an odyssey of adventurous education and employment perhaps unmatched by West Indians of the twentieth century. Armed with indefatigable optimism and faith in his survival instincts, he would serve variously as a child teacher, policeman, psychiatric nurse trainee, bond portfolio manager, MBA financial executive, corporate head of several major Caribbean brands, livestock magnate, real estate agent, taxi entrepreneur, waiter, tow-truck manager and financial adviser, among other pursuits. A man of uncommon wit, inventiveness and energy, Weekes brings to life the anti-colonial struggles waged for Caribbean nationhood, the formation of the Canadian social-democratic identity and his role at ringside (sometimes in the ring) with many of the key characters in each drama. Equal parts love story, career adventure and purpose-seeking travelogue, The King of Cane Garden is an unvarnished and raw yet thoughtful account of the West Indian experience abroad, the randomness of career achievement, the transcendent nature of lifelong learning and the universality of our chances at redemption.
