Reader reviews for Froudacity: West Indian Fables

From the publisher

Froudacity: West Indian Fables is a book written by J.J. Thomas that explores the complexities of colonialism and cultural identity in the West Indies. The book is a collection of fables and stories that use animal characters to illustrate the social and political issues faced by the West Indian people during the colonial period. Through the use of animal characters, Thomas is able to create a universal narrative that speaks to the struggles of all colonized people. The book challenges the notion of the superiority of Western culture and highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique cultural heritage of the West Indies. Thomas also addresses issues of race and class within the West Indian society, and the impact of colonialism on these issues. The book is a powerful commentary on the effects of colonialism and the struggle for cultural identity in the West Indies. Overall, Froudacity: West Indian Fables is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the complexities of colonialism and cultural identity in the West Indies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the region.Written by Thomas in response to J.A. Froude's The Bow of Ulysses.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

First line

Like the ancient hero, one of whose warlike equipments furnishes the complementary title of his book, the author of "The English in the West Indies; or, The Bow of Ulysses," sallied forth from his home to study, if not cities, at least men (especially black men), and their manners in the British Antilles.
