The Undiscovered Country - Essays by Andre Bagoo
medium-paced
3.5
this is an interesting collection of essays—some i really liked, some i felt didn’t mix well with the overall book and/or just weren’t for me.
i appreciated getting to learn more about T&T’s history & culture & art. Bagoo’s research and personal experiences both shine.
my favorite essays were: in plato’s cave, his father’s disciple, you can see venezuela from trinidad
the free colony is so different than everything else, not sure how i feel. i fully believe that independence isn’t all it’s cracked up to be & and left many countries in a state of “post”colonial reliance. however, i really don’t agree with his idea of a solution… at all. would love to get my other anticolonial friends in here to discuss 😭
