Description

Barbados Ah Come From is a must read for every Bajan.

The book creatively provides vivid images of living and growing up in Barbados especially in the 1960s and 1970s. Who remembers eating the mutton soup with dumplings? Or hopping on the back of a cane truck? Or sleeping on the crocus bag?

Listen in on the conversations of the hawkers at the Cheapside Market in Bridgetown as they attempted to entice the tourists and locals alike to buy their produce.

Hear the nut seller as she plies her trade in the bus-stand trying to convince her customers to buy the Bajan delicacies such as "comforts" and "glassies".

Feel the plight of our grand parents as they attempted to make ends meet why taking care of their children. A must read for all as they seek to learn about Barbadian culture and history or relive those memories of growing up in Barbados.

This book features some of the popular literary works perform by the late Mr. Osbert McClean and his group PRIMCADA as they went through communities in Barbados in the late 1970s through 1990s entertaining people through drama, poetry, dance and other cultural; artforms
