Time to pull from off the shelf the work of a little known Barbadian author, Dorothy Lovell, whose short stories were published in a collection shortly before her death in 2021 at age 89. This episode features a recently discovered 1967 recording by Alfred Pragnell, who brings to life Lovell’s "This Land is Mine" – a moving tale of Ruben and his profound connection to the land he has cultivated. Discover a forgotten voice in Barbadian literature whose work, reflecting the language and daily life of working-class people, was rediscovered and published in 2019 by her daughter. “This Land is Mine: Barbadian Short Stories” by Dorothy Lovell is now available at the National Library Service and in book and e-book form on Amazon.
