Rogues In Paradise
Voices, Empire, and Beyond Paradise
Read sample chapters Rogues In Paradise, a bold and humorous exploration of Caribbean identity, colonialism, and lived experience.
Bursting with humour, ROGUES reveals surprising truths about heritage, colonialism, and the Black experience.
This is not just a story about history,
it is about identity as it is lived, tested, and revealed.
What You’ll Discover
Rogues In Paradise brings together a series of vivid voices and moments shaped by empire, culture, and everyday life in the Caribbean.
Through story and reflection, it explores:
- The unspoken rules of society
- The lingering weight of colonial influence
- The tension between appearance and reality
- The lived experience behind identity
Voices
Each voice captures a moment — sometimes humorous, sometimes sharp — but always revealing.
Example: Pompasettin
All Style & No Substance Leads To A Fall
He assumed his fancy attire gave him priority,
but he was not expecting the tongue-lashing he got.
In this true story of island social etiquette,
knowing your place — and being reminded of it — becomes a hard lesson learned.
Empire
Beyond the humour lies something deeper.
These stories reflect how empire shaped:
- Social hierarchy
- Behaviour and expectations
- Ideas of status and belonging
Even in moments of laughter, there is truth —
about who we are, and how we came to be.
Example: Barbados-Born Sam Lord – An Ingenious Pirate
Hear it from the Lord himself. In this fantasy tale, Sam Lord tells you all you want to know about his ruthless charm and defiance of the law. He is credited as the most creative pirate of his time. Some say his treasures still lie buried in tunnels below Sam Lord’s Castle.
