Caribbean Trailblazers: St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Volume 2 profiles eighteen remarkable individuals (fourteen men and four women) who, by dint of intellect, hard work and perseverance, have succeeded in moving the beautiful island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) a little further along, either directly or indirectly. Included are the biographies of five politicians, two diplomats, a medical doctor, an engineer, two poets, two journalists, two civil servants, a teacher, a feminist and a political scientist/sportsman. All were born in SVG although some have made their contribution abroad.
As in the earlier volume, we have tried, as far as possible, to chronicle the history of SVG through the stories of the people mentioned herein. We hope this volume would be read, especially by the young people of SVG, because it is so important for young people to know about the contribution of these men and women on whose backs the nation was built.
