B.G. Bhagee: Memories of a Colonial Childhood
Philippa Perry was born and raised in the pre-independence days of British Guiana -- the only English speaking country in South America. She recounts her early days as the second daughter in a family of six children in a struggling middle class family. Her stories come from a lost civilization of pre-independence stability just as the anarchic blessing of democracy came to the Caribbean. She recounts her Sisyphean trials growing up a Carrington in Lot 10, First Street, Georgetown -- from the women's battles to the neighbours that never wore clothes to the relatives who walked with their shoes in their hands.
