Description

Clarke and Clarke have created a journal that gives an ethnographic record of the East Indians and Creoles of San Fernando – and all of the sugar belt south of town referred to as Naparima. They record socio-political relations throughout the second one year of Trinidad s independence (1964), and provide first-hand evidence for the workings of a complex, plural society through which race, religion, and politics had turn into, and have remained, deeply intertwined. Entries occur every time there’s evidence of social scientific importance to the project, and these range from descriptions of weddings and pujas (prayer ceremonies devoted to a Hindu deity) to interviews with religious leaders, politicians and members of the south Trinidad elite.
