Marble, Grass, and Glass
This book delves into the lives of various East Indian indentured servants bound to British sugar plantations in the Caribbean between 1838 and 1917. During that period some 1.2 million Indians embarked into a contractual agreement to work for a specified period at those establishments. Many were lured with false promises that resulted in an atrocious system that undermined human dignity. People came under a servitude process that resulted in a system that replaced, redefined and re-invented slavery. That system determined that not all people were created equally and the establishments treated them like chattel. This reflection focuses on the country of Guyana. It progressively talks about ancestors who endured the severity of plantation life and the abuses associated with their daily lives. Those people suffered tremendous hardships. Some died while still bound to the estates leaving orphans behind. Many endured, survived and prospered. This is their story.
A Common Vision
I wrote A Common Vision with the intent that it could benefit, directly or indirectly, many people. Among other topics, it emphasizes mutual respect for all, regardless of origin, wealth, entitlement, or status. It delves into various aspects of life with special emphasis on business leadership, management, and other entities. We must realize that continuous personal and leadership improvements are critical factors for current and future success. Denying these basic factors should not be an option.
The suggestions offered here are the result of my many years ofdiverse experience during various modes of survival. I draw from experiences in a third-world country to involvements in corporate business management and a host of additional scholastic and practical life experiences.
