Growing Up Stupid Under the Union Jack
by Austin Clarke (9781902669700)

Austin Clarkes memoir of adolescence in 1940s Barbados has become a Caribbean classic since first appearing in 1980. Telling of a traditional Public School-style education in the colony nicknamed Little England, it takes a wry and sometimes comical look at an establishment where Barbadian boys pray for the Royal Family and learn Latin verbs. A mix of patriotism and floggings, Combermere School is a training ground for Little Englanders.
