Savi Naipaul Akal's memoir pays tribute to remarkable parents, so different but equal in importance to their large family. It is an account of family loyalty, sacrifice, and sometimes tensions. Through this focus, the memoir also gives a sharply observed picture of cultural change in Trinidad from colony to independent nation, of being Indian in a Creole society, of the role of education, and her parents' encouragement of herself and her sisters to make independent lives for themselves. The memoir gives an acute analysis of the pressures that led many of the family to emigrate, but also of the good lives made by Savi and her husband that led them to "put down their bucket" and stay. Above all, this memoir offers the pleasure of writing which is elegant and lucid, with a distinctively personal voice."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Naipaul Akal, Savi. 650 0 $a Educators $z Trinidad and Tobago $v Biography. 650 0 $a West Indians $z Trinidad and Tobago $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Trinidad and Tobago $x Social life and customs. 650 7 $a Educators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903702 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 7 $a Trinidad and Tobago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211577 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 $a Family histories. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026100 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 655 7 $a Family histories. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919924 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919924 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017030709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DF84A4A0B6411EAA467CE0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
