Wake People Wake is a
socio-anthropological study of the wake and waking habits that early Tobago
folk practised while engaging in their funerary rites. The study not only
deals with these people and their rituals; it also presents a perspective of
the way other tribes, and early peoples worldwide, dealt with the death
condition and and the here-after, and the way superstition and the
supernatural constantly played a part in their responses.
This book is published to mark the author’s fifty years of cultural
investigations, and for posterity.
