Dr Juanita Cox in Conversation with Celeste Mohammed
Abstract
This conversation highlights Ever Since We Small as both a literary achievement and socio-cultural intervention. It explores the book’s sweeping family saga from Indian indentureship to modern Trinidad, its thematic engagement with colourism and intimate partner violence, the shifting lines between fiction and non-fiction and its unapologetic use of Trinidadian Creole and folklore.
