Description

In No Man's Land, economist and award-winning Caribbean author, Dr. Anderson Reynolds, dissects St. Lucian politics and society to pinpoint what is wrong with the country's political system and how to fix it. It speaks to the hold history has on the country, and how race, partisanship, provincialism, and opportunism cloud the political process. It is a meditation on issues of patrimony, sovereignty, nationhood, corruption, and political empowerment. "An informative, well-researched and artfully crafted work by a master in his field...Arguably St. Lucia's most prominent writer at this time...Digs deep into the meat of St. Lucia's political system...highly recommended for political front liners, academics, students and all interested in understanding and willing to help shape and re-shape the Caribbean and its attendant institutions." -Modeste Downes, author of A Lesson on Wings, Theatre of the mind, & Phases "Awesome ... profound, informative and thought-provoking." -Dr. James Fletcher, author of Governing in a Small Caribbean Island State "No Man's Land represents a substantial contribution to the public debate and further cements the author's place as a serious and thoughtful public intellectual." -Dr. Prosper Raynold, economics professor, Miami University of Ohio "In Dr. Reynolds St. Lucia has produced another writer of the calibre, or of even deeper essence than Nobel Laureate V. S. Naipaul." -Peter Lansiquot, CARICOM economist and diplomat
