商品簡介
A memoir written by a retired literature professor in an interdisciplinary program in cultural studies, this book focuses on the author and two other women who came to Belize to teach in a Catholic Papal Volunteers for Latin America program for a year as young adults in the early 1960s. They left promising each other they'd return. The seaside town the author knew as Angel Creek is Ahariduna, a Garifuna-majority town in Belize and the setting of much of the book. The three women return in 2004 to see how the place has changed and how it has not; this journey is a coda at the end of the book. While the book is largely a look back at the lives of three young American white women in a colonial Catholic setting where they are both isolated and privileged, it also offers images of Belize toward the end of its colonial period and the beginning of the drive toward independence. There are some black and white photographs. Distributed by Longleaf Services, Inc. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
