Musings of a Caribbean Professor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728314501)

Musings of a Caribbean Professor is a compilation of over 50 articles on Caribbean concerns that were previously published in newspapers across the Caribbean during the 34-year sojourn of its author while a professor of sociology at the University of the Virgin Islands. It is a treasure of information on select outstanding and lesser-known personalities, including Marcus Garvey. Such topics as China-Caribbean relations; Cuba in the Caribbean; legalization of marijuana; crime; juvenile delinquency; suicide; healthy marriages; corruption in government; Catholicism and Cuba and other pithy ones, including the popular festival of Carnival are addressed. Also, in the tenth subsection of the volume, three human-interest concerns, namely, aging, retirement as well as death and its aftermath, are addressed. Even two thought-provoking pieces entitled "Seeing Islam through Christian Eyes" and "The Mystery of Evil", are included. As can be expected, three submissions on the military and security in Barbados/Caribbean (Dion's research specialization) are grafted in.
