The re-presentation of the Afro-Caribbean folk culture

"...the preservation of our culture saved us from the attempts to make us peoples without a soul and without a history; our culture preserved us..." (African literature today, Insiders and Outsiders, Publishing Company, page 243). This book projects the dreadful past and the re-affirming present of the Afro-Caribbean people and also the various attempts made to preserve the folk culture against the various effects of colonisation.
