Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From Innocence to Impudence is the story of a family, the record of three generations, and the story of a young man growing up in Trinidad. The story begins with Awadh Jaggernath's grandparents, who desperately wanted to free themselves from the bane of unemployment, the scourge of financial hardships, the injustice of privileged education, and the daunting curse of social degradation. They voluntarily indenture themselves to the sugarcane plantations in Trinidad with the hope of freedom after their five year contract ends. Living with his parents and grandparents, Jaggernath documents the struggles and way of life of his grandparents and his parents. He colours his story with vivid and compelling details of the vibrant multicultural society, the lives of his immediate and extended family and his friends and the discipline, joys and sorrows, the sexual exploits, early loves and intimacies of his youth.From Innocence to Impudence is more than a memoir, it is an intimate and vivid family history told in a remarkable language which captures the tonality and rhythm of Trinidadian speech. Nothing is left untold. This memoir, in terms of its honesty, finally pulls the curtain open on the real life of this man, his family, his village and his youth in Trinidad. Awadh N. Jaggemath was born in Trinidad where he was educated under the British education system. He taught in elementary and secondary schools, as well as for the extra-mural department of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. In the 1960s, he immigrated to Canada to further his education at McMaster University, University of Toronto, Brock University and York University. For decades he taught mathematics and science at the collegiate level for the Toronto District School Board and the Halton Public and Separate School Boards. He is now retired and lives in Oakville.What readers have to say A Well Written Journey A book that takes you out of the here and now and draws you into another time and place is by far the kind of read! For a read into another life that will carry you across the ocean. I highly recommend this novel! This story takes you on a journey from India to indentured service in Trinidad and life afterwards. Awadh Jaggernath's well written novel draws you into the life of his acestors as they travel, make life changing decisions and live. It's a heart warming story that takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions as you learn of the hard choices each side of the family made to bring them to Trinidad and how they continued their life after their indentured service was completed. Enlightened A universal truth as the author acclimatizes to the pitfalls and opportunity of maturing. This is an interesting portrayal of the aggression of predators, versus self preservation of the individual in a primitive environment. Life lessons to be learned.
