In 1786 he left for Trinidad, a Spanish island (barely) governed from Caracas. Led by Roume de St. Laurent, a visionary Grenadian creole, Joseph Maingot and many other French settlers with their slaves began to develop the formerly abandoned island. They were enormously successful. In 1797 the English conquered and struggled to deal with a polyglot population, originally growing sugar and then cocoa, and a French culture tinged with West African influences. The many clashes over language, religion and education, gave rise to a French Creole identity known for its congenial life style, its music, cuisine and piquant sense of humour. So was Carnival and Calypso born. The permanence and love of the Island by the many male and female descendants of Joseph Etienne Maingot, through the best and worst of times, has earned them the honorific: "sons of the soil." *This is a FINE AUTHOR SIGNED AND DEDICATED copy of the 1st./1st. edition with absolutely minimal shelf wear.
