Drawn together by a single theme - the culture and politics of the "barracoon" - V.S. Naipaul collection of essays touches on subjects as diverse as Indian society, John Steinbeck, the origins of the Trinidad Carnival, Norman Mailer and Black Power. The essays evoke attitudes of disenchantment, self-deception and oppression.
