Sons and daughters of St Lucia are likely to love Morgan Dalphinis'
clear and readable account of the island's linguistic history. His
soaring overview highlights significant points of interconnection
in the web of language, culture and identity as the peoples of the
island confronted successive waves of change and shaped their
destinies. Consequently, St Lucian History & Language not only
acknowledges influences pre 1654, but in light of identified
developments between that date and 1915 Dalphinis asks us some
provocative questions about the direction of travel for both the
language and people beyond the early decades of the twenty-first
century.
