Inhaltsangabe

The main character in CYBER TREK is called Mankin (Yes, Mankin, not Mankind.) He is like our inner correcting force observing all things . . . but made few comments.The following is a concise insight into CYBER TREK.Migrants left their island homes with great hopes and found otherwise. Culture shock treated in a light-hearted manner. Discussion of the stifling British old-boys system on the island . . . a time when the advantaged brown-skinned colonialists emulated the British, and practiced a fiercer type of social exclusion against the disadvantaged Blacks. Marcus Garvey's legacy and the Rastafarian Movement (Beating down Babylon!). . . Authentic Jah discussions! Changing Caribbean politics (Jamaica specific), and the rise of the notorious gunman. Return of the deportees and the old political 'Father confessors!' - The old conniving politicians whom now want to confess their misdeeds. (Poking fun at the system and its leadership--in some instances it is not really funny.)Insight into the religious ideas of the wishy-washy political preachers that populate the islands--religious beliefs and practices of island groups. Not to be taken seriously--a fun thing! Political (politricksians) insecurity, silly inter-groups rivalry and biases of the various Caribbean island groups. Another political look, comparing Garvey's time with the present-day free-market system . . . Was Garvey wrong in his skepticism of the NAACP? Was he wrong in denouncing Haile Selassie for losing the war to the Italians?Dialogue between two radicals: one is the younger pro-Malcolm X (Kenworth), the other older pro-Garveyite (Simnally.) These guys interspersed their radical streetwise 1960-70s dialogue throughout the manuscript. Finally tired and old migrants now pining to return to their homeland . . . What are their chances for peaceful retirement in an island society gone mad with lawlessness and corruption?
