“Highlighting the Issues: 101 Letters to the Editor” is a collection of 101 letters which were sent to the editor of the Nation Newspaper, Barbados for publication. The letters touch on a range of issues which were topical at the time of writing. They all reflect the writer’s views, and were not influenced by anyone’s opinion or wishes. Of importance, too, is the fact that none was written under a fictitious name; they were all signed by the writer thus giving his stamp of ownership of and responsibility for the contents therein. The issues covered in this work range from the political to the general. The letters of a political nature reflect the political bias of the writer. Those of a general nature reflect the community-spiritedness of the writer who became a community practitioner from the early age of seventeen. The letters presented in “Highlighting the Issues’ are the originals and are arranged according to the dates written or published. They are, for the most part, relatively short and to the point – a deliberate effort by the writer to appeal to the readership of the local newspaper. The one hundred and one letters to the Editor capture the issues of the day and are now preserved for posterity in “Highlighting the Issues”. Some of the issues are : Condoms in Schools; Mandatory DNA testing at birth; Arthur best choice for leader;West Indies Woes;Lara better than Tendulkar; Domestic violence; No Closed Adoptions; Fatherless generation of farm worker children in Canada.
