This writer belongs to that group of individuals who never managed to hold on to a lifelong profession, though trained as a nurse, as one or two varieties of social work, as semi skilled laborer, as low level sociologist (MA . Sociology, CUNY), and now as semi public school teacher. At this late point in life l have decided to air my views on some of the decisive social movements in which I participated, and in which I am still somewhat active, though to a very limited extent. The reader, therefore, will hopefully concentrate his/her attention on this first attempt to convey the idea that socialism is not an arbitrary invention of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, nor V.I. Lenin. Neither is it a dead historical issue. I was born in, and spent the greater part of my life in Trinidad and Tobago, arriving in the USA over two decades ago, when my world outlook had been decidedly fixed by earlier training and experiences. I live in New York City where I’ve spent most of my time in the USA, and gained a more mature view of history.visualizza meno
