Editorial Reviews

Review

Coming, Coming Home: Conversations II ... published in English and French by House of Nehesi Publishers in St. Martin, ... in which Lamming draws on the contributions of some of the finest intellectuals and revolutionary leaders of the region for his cultural, historical survey of the Caribbean landscape ... . -- Rickey Singh, Weekend Nation, Barbados

He (George Lamming) is a bold man who would set out to encapsulate 500 years of Caribbean history. Lamming does it by the judicious selection of telling illustrations. -- Gladstone Holder, Barbados Advocate

The Lamming monographs are themselves part of the current discourse which targets the historical, cultural and scientific implications of the pan-hemispheric encounters that will continue to be of global importance well into the twenty-first century. -- Rex Nettleford, Pro Vice Chancellor, University of the West Indies
