Description

"TT" Lewis, a white working class Barbadian hero, emerges from this biography as a curious, irreverent and ultimately unique product of a colonial society then notorious for its stifling distinctions of colour and class. As a white man championing progressive ideas, Lewis' views and his proclamations rocked official Barbados and cost him dearly. For a decade and half he represented the city of Bridgetown in the colonial House of Assembly first as an independent, then as a member of the Congress Party, the Barbados Labour Party, and finally the Democratic Labour Party. He is remembered as the tragic victor of the 1949 "Lewis Demonstration" and as the father of free secondary education in a country now bettered by few in the quest for empowering its citizens through learning.

Author Biography:

Gary Lewis, born and raised in Barbados, is a great nephew of "TT" Lewis. Having joined the United Nations in 1987, he has worked since 1993 with the UN Drug Control Programme (UNDCP) with postings in Austria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and South Africa. He obtained an Msc (Econ) with distinction from the London School of Economics in 1985 and has worked at the UK House of Commons and as a features writer for "South Magazine" in London.
