Show transcript
Jamaica was colonised by the British in 1655.
Until Jamaica achieved independence in 1962, its education system was largely Eurocentric.
Arguably, Brod is a foil to Enid: he criticises British institutions, policies and attitudes in a way that she does not.
Arguably, Brod is a catalyst for Viv’s questioning of her education.
