Alexander Stoddard Frankson was born in Jamaica in 1913 to a Caribbean family of mixed racial heritage, he trained as a teacher and later joined the British Honduras (now Belize) government civil service in 1937. This memoir follows his long and distinguished public service career.
Frankson explores divisive issues of the Caribbean - slavery, colonialism, colour prejudice, colonial and post-colonial government, the growth of bureaucracy and globalisation. He gives a rich picture of Caribbean life from his perspective, from childhood to old age and the emergence of a modern, post-colonial Caribbean world.
