Stranger Who Was Myself Jenkins Barbara
Barbara Jenkins writes about the experiences of a personal and family-centred life in Trinidad with great psychological acuteness, expanding on the personal with a deep awareness of the economic, social and cultural contexts of that experience. It involves a family network that connects to just about every Trinidadian ethnicity and their respective mixtures. She writes about a childhood and youth located in the colonial era and an adult life that began at the very point of Trinidad's independent nationhood, a life begun in considerable poverty in a colonial city going through rapid change.
This schooling gave the young Barbara Jenkins the intense experience of being an outsider to Trinidad's hierarchies of race and class. She It is about a life that expanded in possibility through an access to an education not usually available to girls from such an economically fragile background.
