The first Indian indentured laborers came to the Caribbean more than150 years ago, and their traditional values have had to confront a rapidly changing world in 20th century Trinidad. <i>Highway in the Sun</i> tells the story of Tiger and Urmilla"s first year of marriage away from their extended family and their struggles relating to their new Afro-Creole neighbors in the suburbs of Port of Spain. In <i>Home Sweet India</i>, Johnny is dismayed by his loss of culture and threatened by the emergence of Creole nationalism, and plans to return to India. In <i>Turn Again Tiger</i>, Tiger learns that he must not turn his back on his Indian past. These plays demonstrate the choices Indians in the Caribbean must make between tradition and creolization.
