What happens when people return to the land of their birth after
decades away? The migrants' journey is a well-told story but much
less is known about those who return. Why do they go back? What is
it like to be back home? Home Again is a collection of contemporary
real-life stories by men and women who have returned to Dominica.
Their feelings and experiences, expressed in their own words, link
the challenges of the past to both the positive aspects of return -
a sense of belonging and well-being - and also to its difficulties
- of rejection and frustration. Compelling, moving and intensely
personal, Home Again, is a revealing insight into the lives of
these pioneering migrants.

Your Time Is Done Now tells the story of the Maroons (runaways
slaves) of Dominica and their allies through the transcripts of
trials held in 1813 and 1814 during the Second Maroon War. Using
the evidence to explain how the Maroons waged war against slave
society, the book reveals for the first time fascinating details
about how Maroons survived in the forests and also about their
relationship with the enslaved on the plantations. It also examines
the key role of the British governor who succeeded in suppressing
the Maroons and how the Colonial Office in London reacted to his
punitive conduct. Read the evidence and hear the voices of the
oppressed in resistance and defeat.
