The book explores the resilience of African-Caribbean families in the face of colonial stereotypes that portrayed them as morally deficient and disorganized. It challenges the narrative by highlighting the strength and inclusivity of family ties that emerged despite the adversities of slavery and poverty. Through first-hand accounts, it reveals how these families developed a unique Creole identity, reflecting the broader social history of the English-speaking Caribbean. The narrative emphasizes the importance of family connections in fostering survival and continuity within the diaspora.
