Review
A photographic treasure of Trinidad and Tobago...the photographs are magnificent. Return to Kairi is a record of the people of the country at work, at play, at ease. This book is a treasure; readers...should add this book to their shopping lists. -- NEWSDAY, July 7, 1998
Adventure from cover to cover...[the reader] emerges from the book with a greater sense of self-appreciation, as it reminds one of the majesty of all things that define a citizen, a nation, a people; a vision which is usually blurred by being seen too often. -- SUNDAY GUARDIAN, July 26, 1998
From the Publisher
This pictorial travel book takes the form of a journey divided into eight movements: Arrival; discovery, the boundary of our existence, the coasts
Culture shock; recognition of our differences; people, places and pastimes, form and function
Realization of the tropical flora and fauna; cornucopian abundance to unity of colour
Juxtaposition; the yin and the yang, the sights and the sounds; duality
Carnival is...; the real nature of the phenomenon
The Aftermath; reflection, revival, and refreshment; our faith in the natural
The Future; enterprise and evolution
The Journey's End; Amen, sunset, 'alleluia.
This first book in a series of art books, on and of the Caribbean including Trinidad and Tobago, is for the armchair traveller in search of new lands, the Caribbean native in exile, the visitor in search of a local perspective, the travel agent in need of proof! This book is for you. Trinidad and Tobago has many stories to tell. I hope that I will be able to share them with you in the future.
