There has been no greater inspiration than the pride in my sons, Brian and Darren and the unlimited joy of my grandchildren, Nile and Elle make me glad for each and every day of life.

My professors at the University of the West Indies, Trevor Munroe, Orlando Patterson, Clive Thomas, Douglas Hall, Adlith Brown, Rex Nettleford, and George Beckford. My exposure to David Gordon, Gita Sen, and Anwar Shaikh was enjoyable and enlightening.
