Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written primarily for the people of Trinidad and Tobago. Nevertheless, it would be of great interest to the Caribbean Diaspora, and individuals who wish to understand the social, cultural, political, and economic dynamics of a developing Caribbean nation. Partially written in dialect, the text has afforded him a forum to reveal some secret and uncomfortable episodes in his life. His carefree style has allowed ample humor, making the narrative quite entertaining. In his research on the Steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, he was able to take an unbiased glimpse of the twin-island state and its incomparable sweetness; no mater how twisted, the sugarcane owns its sugar. However, despite the sweetness, many terrible upheavals in the society have caused an unforgivable nasty sourness in the system.
