A portrait not only of the people of the Caribbean, but of the "white savior complex." Why is it hard for whites to see that they cannot fix the devastation created by their ancestors during colonialism without giving up privilege afforded them by systemic oppression? Take a look.

Very absorbing and interesting book on life in West Indies and the conflux of American researchers and the culture of poverty. Extremely descriptive of setting and characters and very powerful male, female, Black, White characters. Maybe a bit long, but fascinating!
