O knihe
"Gérard M. Hunt is a man without a
country, trying to piece together in essays, editorials and
scholarship a country of his own from three quite separate
nations: French Colonial by birth and upbringing; United
States by military service and higher education; and Canada
by profession in teaching and scholarship. The three have by
no means come together in a single national unity. His
homing tendency seems to be towards St. Martin, but St.
Martin is itself an amalgam - a clump of volcanic earth
still divided, for no good reason, between two independent
sovereigns thousands of miles away. He is a unitary citizen
without an integrated polity. (...) Many of Gérard's essays
are grave and penetrating trials. Many are sentimental -
catching up with childhood comrades, sharing grief over a
lost friend or relative. Several of these discourses are
critiques of the wayward tendencies of French efforts to
govern Saint-Martin from Paris through Guadeloupe. The most
serious and extensive of essays aim at encouraging a greater
sense of historical awareness and of community solidarity
among St. Martiners ..." From "Foreword to Rambling on Saint
Martin" by Theodore J. Lowi
