Austin Clarke's classic story of British colonial education is the
subject of Growing Up Stupid Under the Union Jack. It is the story
of a boy whose mother struggled against seemingly impossible odds
to give her son the best available education. Generations of
Barbadians, and West Indians, will identify with young Austin
Clarke, from the absentee father to the challenges of a daily life
in a society based on colour and class prejudice and a rigid set of
customs and rules imported from England and imposed on Caribbean
society. Growing Up Stupid Under the Union Jack is more than a
memoir; it provides a rare in-depth look into the nature of the
colonial condition, told with humour, wit and an authentic Bajan
voice.
