The Middle Passage (book)
The Middle Passage: The Caribbean Revisited is a 1962 book-length essay / travelogue by V. S. Naipaul. It is his first book-length work of non-fiction.[1] It has the sub-title "The Caribbean Revisited".
First edition (publisher Macmillan)
The book covers a year-long trip through Trinidad, British Guiana, Suriname, Martinique, and Jamaica in 1961. As well as giving his own impressions, Naipaul refers to the work of earlier travellers such as Patrick Leigh Fermor, who described a similar itinerary in The Traveller's Tree (1950). Naipaul addresses a range of topics including the legacy of slavery and colonialism, race relations, the roles of South Asian immigrants in the various countries, and differences in language, culture, and economics.

gollark: If mgollark² is to occur, I would probably construct them by using Google Colab to obtain fast TPUs for training, then somehow having you download the 12GB of bee neuron data to something connected to this "coral TPU".
gollark: Not practical. For mgollark I just harvested some free Google computing power.
gollark: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo seems to mention TPU support, although it wants high-powered "cloud" ones for training, no idea what it needs for inferencing.
gollark: Wait, you have a TPU, right citrons?
gollark: I was investigating GPT-3-ous mgollark, but this would use even *more* time unless I get a TPU somehow.
