This publicationspeaks to many themes that easily resonate to persons of Afro-Caribbeandescent, and indeed any person who wishes an insider's view into theorigins and realities of working class Caribbean persons of that generation.Walk With Me looks back across three generations, but each era ispresented via the lens of the writer, a 'self-made' man who over a period oftime and character-shaping experiences has come to a greater understanding of self, purpose and his unique place in Caribbean diasporic history. In telling his story he has touched on many themes: the persistent legacyof slavery and plantation life; the institution of matriarch-led homes; the commitment to family; the importance of pride, self-respect and personal discipline; the need of hard work and sacrifice towards accomplishingmajor goals; and self confidence in pursuing business opportunities towards self and community empowerment.
