About OCEAN STIRRINGS

Through fiction and poetry, Merle Collins brings alive the almost hidden life of Louise Langdon Little, her years as a child and adolescent in Grenada, her years as a young married woman in Canada and the USA, and the tragedy of her incarceration in a psychiatric hospital in Kalamazoo. In the process, she gives a brilliant portrayal of how some were able to turn the propagandistic and racist nature of colonial education on its head.

Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction
