On the way to the Warehouse


Lloyd Best: Enduring Relevance of Independent Thought, Caribbean Freedom is off press and on its way to our warehouse.
Best was well known as a Caribbean icon. Outspoken and prolific, he sought to move Caribbean thought away from the European 'ideal' and instead through the New World Group and his theory of the Plantation Economy, identified the realities of Caribbean society, politics and culture.
Following his death in 2007, tributes poured in for Best and his contribution to the development of Caribbean Thought. In this collection, Best’s eloquent tributes to other Caribbean intellectuals and their contribution to the creation of a Caribbean Civilisation are brought together for the first time.

I had the honour of meeting Lloyd Best in person in my final year of undergrad. He was fiesty to the end, controversial indeed. I look forward to reading this book. Nice cover image too. Hail the New World!
