Reasonings with the Youth: Black History, Culture & Politics

The youth are the window through which the future enters the world, and it is important to nurture their minds and encourage progressive thinking and attitudes towards securing a brighter future. In this publication David Comissiong speaks to Barbadian and Caribbean youth through his provocative and challenging narrative which focuses on History, Pan-Africanism, Slavery, Culture and Politics, encouraging them to face their history and themselves. The call to wake up and do something positive with and for our society goes out to all Barbadians in general, but it is especially directed at the youth of our nation. And if the youth are to assume the onerous but critical duty of taking responsibility for the future progress of Barbados, then they will have to grapple with and transcend our extremely dysfunctional political and governance system.
