View Description
A valuable contribution to the understanding of the making of Indian diaspora community in the Caribbean Island, I am a Dream to My Village is much more than an autobiography of an individual's accomplishments-it is an autobiography of the vagaries of colonialism; a life, culture and society undergone unprecedented metamorphosis; struggle between identity and survival, between nightmare of the past and the dream of the future. But what comes out strikingly is the hope in life, faith in struggle and sense of enduring will and determination. As the author puts it so very tellingly: ' Along my journey I have experienced human existence in all its forms; from abject poverty to that of an illiterate and triumphed over those vicissitudes and misfortunes with fortitude and optimism.'
