What a powerful set of pages indeed. Still processing

“Why not go to Mexico? You can learn more Spanish, since you like to speak it, and come back and be the first black girl to work in the bank. The party will see to it. Course you'll have to do better with your sums.”

“However, in Belize, where almost everything locally reared or made is suspect, where everyone's childhood misdemeanours are known, where family circumstances and prejudices are well documented, Father Nunez was in a difficult position.”

“Dats why white man can't grow flowers, them kill everything dem touch.”

“Lilith want him to take her up in the house and out of common negro life. Lilith hear about massas and they chère amie and she know she prettier than any other negro in the field or in the house.”

This was an excellently researched book. Each chapter took me to a different detailed explanation of the coded visual language and language of tourism in the Caribbean and the destination wedding.
i highly recommend this book.
