This volume is the second of a trilogy on the re-publication of essays and commentaries that appeared in the "Flambeau" magazine between 1965 and 1968 in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The first volume entitled "Search for Identity" focused on St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This volume focuses on the wider Caribbean as well as on philosophical and religious topics, among others. The authors are mostly Vincentian-born but there are a few invited contributors from other Caribbean countries as well from U.S.A. and the former Yugoslavia. The editors believe that many of the essays still have such relevance to today's Caribbean society that re-publication is very appropriate. The essays also provide a benchmark against which to judge the progress that has been made in Caribbean society over the last forty years. As such, it should be fascinating reading, not only for the older folk, but also for the young people of this generation
