The Year in San Fernando (Caribbean Writers Series)
I have been looking for this book for a very long time, and I so happy that I have finally found it. I Last read this book in my Form 3 year back in 1985. This is a great book for the young and old at heart, and it's a memory of the old Trinidad which I love to remember.

Mexican Memoir: A Personal Account of Anthropology and Radical Politics in Oaxaca
I was expecting this book to be an anthropology text, but instead found it it be a very engaging, delightful personal account of an anthropologist's experience living in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, Mexico. Don't let the fact that it is an anthropology book scare you off- it is not overly dry or academic in the least. While it is very informative and contains a lot of info about politics and ethnicity in the Isthmus, it's written in a casual, personal style that is extremely readable. It contains a lot of funny anecdotes that really brought the Isthmus alive for me. I found myself becoming immersed in the author's vivid descriptions of the countryside, the towns, the colorful characters he met and the political rallies that he attended. More than anything it reads like a travel book, but with a bit more substance. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and would recommend it to anyone who plans to travel to Oaxaca, or is remotely interested in indigenous Mexico.
Mexican Memoir: A Personal Account of Anthropology and Radical Politics in Oaxaca
This comment is not about the content of the book, which I am sure I would enjoy. It is about the extremely-poor formatting, which makes the book impossible to read. Some lines have words scrunched together and, since some of the book is in Spanish and Zapotec, it is hard to figure out. Some lines have only one word. Some letters are even backward! Since so much of the book is in other languages, the reader is reliant on the footnotes but, as they are at the back of the chapter, one has to spend a lot of time finding them. This is much more annoying in a Kindle than in a conventional book. I had expected that I might be able to highlight the text and find the footnote, but the Kindle book isn't configured that way.I won't be buying any serious academic texts from Kindle until this problem is resolved.
