The Cocoa Panyols of Trinidad : An Oral Record

Rating:
Summary: RE MEMBERING YOMBE,PLACIDO AND OTHERS
Review: I PUBLISHED A REVIEW OF THIS BOOK IN THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO REVIEW OF CHRISTMAS 1994 UNDER THE HEADING:A LIVING WALKING LEGEND.IN SEARCH OF THE ORAL TRADITION.
I WOULD QUOTE A FEW SENTENCES:
THE VALUE OF THIS BOOK LIES IN THE AUTHENTIC FIRST HAND ORAL TRADITIONS WHICH THE AUTHOR HAS DOCUMENTED.ALTHOUGH THE BOOK IS INTERSPERSED WITH HISTORICAL FACTS,IT TAKES THE READER DIRECTLY INTO THE HOMES AND GARDENS OF THE COCOA PANYOLS.
