The Life and Times of Dr. John Parmenas Eustace
The life and Times of Dr. J. P. Eustace is an account of how a man with faith in God, a positive mental attitude, dedication to unselfish service, and a commitment to educate the poor, triumphed over colonialism and mainstream religious doctrine to become one of the greatest West Indians of the twentieth century. His life story embodies the history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for almost all of the twentieth century. And, although his initiatives in education were made without regard for political influence or financial rewards, they are generally recognized as having significant impacts on societies in the Caribbean, North America, and Europe. John Parmenas Eustace was born in Mayreau,...
The Nature of Belonging
Vonnie Roudette has created a seminal work of Caribbean Nature writings revealing creative messages for community transformation through daily observation.

The Unapologetic Quest for Success
Two books for the price of one! The epic story is the unvarnished truth of the life history of a rural boy of genuinely "humble" beginning; who survived some of the most atrocious and devious events of life struggles, including a most heinous attempt of homicide against the lives of his entire family; but who still grew up to become a medical doctor associated with international record breaking fame, thus becoming one of the most illustrious and popular icons in his country. The Unapologetic quest for success is a read for all; however it is the fervent wish of the author that this story will serve as an inspiration beacon for all those youths who would share similar life experiences to his. The book is an emotion pack reader. Despite the authentic nature of the story the contents of its chapters are pregnant with the sort of excitements and mood swings that I am sure would keep its readers glued to its pages. His poetic side complements the story but also brings out the deeper thoughts of the author. A must read! - Ardon Nelson, poet, song writer, literary and performing arts critic, consultant in urban planning, St. Vincent and the Grenadines

He reveals in rich detail the myriad impacts of banana production on the peasant laborers of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Grossman challenges the conventional wisdom on three interrelated issues central to contract f...
