Review
...this little book is remarkable, among many things, for its own helpful glossary of creolese words and expressions, which we all know and which has nevertheless escaped the notice of the Oxford work referred to. That apart, Foster sings more eloquently than most the virtues and pains of negritude and of being Trinidadian: "O Trinidad, why do I love you so? Why do I see your virtues, while others see your faults? Why do I see your beauty while others see your ugliness? I love you for so many reasons, too numerous to list"... Foster not only expends his feelings on themes of love and country, but takes up a number of questions vexing society everywhere today: "Modern man is a coward/So quick to pick up a gun/And shoot his opponent down"... In Helen Pyne Timothy's prologue to the present work, she says "Walk In My Shoes" will be very appealing to Trinidadians because it will remind them of their youth and of the particularities of that special experience of that place." -- F. E. Brassington
