Memoirs of a Woman in Politics: Spiritual Struggle Joan M. Purcell

This book is ¿revolutionary¿ in multiple ways. It is intensely personal as well as instructively political ¿ both in a revolutionary sense. Rare insight is to be gained of theological and ideological struggles. Sharp analysis is made of politics in the arena of the Anglophone Caribbean. The perspective of a woman ¿freshens¿ the analysis; and, the revelation of the mind of a dedicated Evangelical Christian stamps uniqueness on every page. Furthermore, practical suggestions are made for the improvement of Western Parliamentary democracy in this part of the world. The prose is clear and artistic and the information holds interest from beginning to end. Modesty in personality and mastery in writing shine through the story that is compelling reading for anyone with the slightest interest in the history, politics, religion and culture of Anglophone Caribbean countries.
