This volume is livicated to all creators of cultural symbols past and present; those in Africa and those brought to the Caribbean who shared their hopes, dreams, aspirations, fears, disappointments and frustrations along this creative trajectory of transition and ancestral cultural practitioners. The foundation you laid allows those in the here-and-now the creative freedom to be. You have provided for those to come. Ase. Winsome Pamella Gordon-Hickling and Frederick Hickling. I truly came to know you both through this work. Your restless, creative souls wrestled with “matter” and “spirit” all life long. Spirit ONE. Ase. Ajani, Zahra and Zachary’s children will benefit from their grandparents wisdom and mistakes. Ase. For ever present astral friends. Ase-O.
